President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced these appointments in an Extraordinary Government Gazette issued last Friday. Additionally, deputy Clerk of Parliament Helen Bangawe Dingani has been appointed as ambassador to the Republic of Tanzania, while Visitor Jerry Mutume has been appointed Ambassador to the Republic of Equatorial Guinea.
The Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya, made the announcement through the publication, stating, "It is hereby notified that His Excellency, the President, in terms of Section 110 (2) (i) as read with Section 204 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, appointed Lt.
