Coup announcer General Sibusiso Moyo is still holed up in the hospital and Minister Cain Mathema is Acting in his place as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, a senior government official has said.
In a statement today the permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information , Publicity and Broadcasting Nick Mangwana said, "A lot of Zimbabweans feel that there is that thing, that X-Factor that MOFAIT SB Moyo brings to our government. nobody can put a finger on it but when he here, it's there.
"It's a quality which cannot be put in words and people end up just saying, that thing. He is coming back and doing so in not too long a space of time. When the time is right we shall see him back at work. Meanwhile there is an Acting Minister as is the norm. In this case it's Hon Senator Cain Mathema."
Many Zimbabweans who responded to the Ministry's statement wished Hon. SB Moyo' who has been described as the most professional and sober Minister in Mnangagwa's government' a speedy recovery.
The retired lieutenant general became an instant celebrity when he announced live on State television last November's military intervention which led to the popular ouster from power of former long-ruling leader, Robert Mugabe.
This saw the affable and articulate former senior military officer earning the monicker General Bae among his admirers.
