HARARE – After a contested victory in last month’s elections, President Emmerson Mnangagwa named his new cabinet on Monday, keeping Mthuli Ncube in charge of finance.
Mnangagwa relieved his deputy Constantino Chiwengo of his dual role as health minister, naming Dr Douglas Mombeshora as the new minister.
Soda Zhemu is the new mines minister, with former deputy primary and secondary education minister Edgar Moyo taking his old portfolio at energy.
Former mines minister Winston Chitando is the new local government minister after July Moyo was shunted to public service, labour and social welfare.
Mnangagwa also named two nephews – David Kudakwashe Mnangagwa and Tongai Mnangagwa – as deputy ministers. David will shadow Ncube at finance while Tongai is the deputy minister for tourism and hospitality, deputising Barbra Rwodzi who returns to the portfolio.
