Although on annual leave, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has made significant changes to his cabinet, reassigning two ministers to different portfolios.

In a statement released on Friday, Dr. Martin Rushwaya, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, confirmed that Honourable July Moyo has been moved from the Ministry of Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare to the Ministry of Energy and Power Development.

Dr. Rushwaya also announced that Honourable Edgar Moyo has been reassigned from the Ministry of Energy and Power Development to the Ministry of Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare.

Additionally, Dr. Fulton Mangwanya has been appointed as the new Director General in the President’s Department, with the changes taking effect immediately.

These reshuffles come as Mnangagwa seeks to strengthen his control over the country amid growing infighting within Zanu PF.

Mnangagwa’s ambitions to extend his tenure beyond 2028 are facing resistance from factions within the party, with some advocating for his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, to take over the leadership of Zanu PF.
