LONG-SERVING Registrar General Tobaiwa Mudede (74) has finally been retired while Information secretary George Charamba was elevated to the unfamiliar position of Deputy Chief Secretary Presidential Communications.
This is according to the new public service shake up by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The list was released on Wednesday.
Mudede, who has been at the helm of the country's registry since 1985, had become one of the most hated public officials after he was often said to be the central figure in former President Robert Mugabe's alleged election rigging tactics.
Mudede also torched controversy 2007 when he was said to have been the brains behind a spirit medium who fleeced government of thousands of dollars while claiming she had some supernatural powers to command rocks in Chinhoyi to churn out a nation's supply of diesel.
Lately, he had torched a storm after he reportedly blacklisted and denied United Kingdom based Zimbabwean journalist Violet Gunda a passport.
Charamba, on his part, is also a long serving top public official since 2000.
He was also presidential spokesperson since Mugabe's time.
Foreign Affairs permanent secretary Joey Bimha was also retired.
