ZANU PF President Emmersom Mnangagwa has appointed former MDC MP James Maridadi appointed an ambassador.

Mnangagwa personally handpicked ex-MDC legislator for Mabvuku-Tafara, James Maridadi for a role as an ambassador and the announcement was made through the state broadcaster, ZBC.

The development saw whispers being sounded about the man’s activities during the time he was an MP in the MDC party, a time when numerous secrets were leaked to the state apparatus. It also appeared to justify the reason why Nelson Chamisa ejected the man.

Maridadi was also once the late Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s spokesman.

The former ZBC dj, was among 15 ambassadors designate and 23 foreign affairs officials who started a month-long diplomatic training course in Harare today.
