New Zimbabwe editor Mduduzi Mathuthu is set to be announced as the new editor of the Chronicle as Professor Jonathan Moyo rings changes in the public media, the Southern Eye reported.
He will replace Itai Musengeyi.
Mathuthu, who only returned to Zimbabwe ahead of the July elections, was based in the United Kingdom, where he ran the online Newzimbabwe.com. It was not immediately clear where Musengeyi would be assigned to.
In other changes, Caesar Zvayi will be appointed editor of The Herald, with the present boss, Innocent Gore being shifted to online platforms.
Zvayi has been at the forefront of Zanu-PF praise singing and this could be a reward for his efforts.
Highly placed sources have also revealed that Jorum Nyathi, a former deputy editor of the Zimbabwe Independent, will be appointed Zimpapers group political editor.
Previously, Nyathi was a spokesman for the Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee, a body that was meant to monitor the implementation of the Global Political Agreement.
The Herald's assistant editor Tumeliso Makhurane is set to take over as the editor of the Sunday News, succeeding Paul Mambo, who died earlier this year.
Makhurane was previously the Chronicle's deputy editor, before being assigned to The Herald.
Innocent Madonko, the Chronicle deputy editor had been calling the shots at the Sunday News since Mambo's death.
Moyo is also set to ring the changes at the State broadcaster, ZBC, after expressing reservations at its failure to pay employees for months on end.
