President Emmerson Mnangagwa has re-assigned some of the former ministers who were retired from government to full time heads of departments at Zanu-PF party headquarters today.

This was revealed by Zanu-PF spokesperson Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo soon after  the extraordinary Politburo meeting.

Top on the agenda of the extraordinary Politburo meeting was the issue of rebuilding and transforming the party following its victory in the July 30 harmonised elections and the appointment of a new cabinet.

The extraordinary Politburo session resolved that 11 departments will now be manned on full time basis by most of the former ministers who were retired from government recently.

Dr Obert Mpofu, Patrick Chinamasa, Ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and Dr Chris Mushohwe are some of the former ministers who have been re-assigned.

Other cadres who have been assigned to conduct party business on full time basis are Paul Mangwana to head legal affairs, Lewis Matutu full time youth affairs, Douglas Mahiya war veterans, while head of security and one for women affairs will be named in due course.
