President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday, 24 April, reassigned three Cabinet Ministers and appointed two Deputy Ministers.
In a statement, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya said the reassignments and appointments were done in terms of Subsection 1 of Section 104 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe and are with immediate effect.
Local Government and Public Works Minister Winston Chitando returned to the Mines and Mining Development Ministry taking over from Minister Zhemu Soda who has been reassigned to be Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities.
Mnangagwa moved Daniel Garwe from the National Housing and Social Amenities Ministry to head the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works.
Tsholotsho South legislator Musa Ncube was appointed Deputy Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities while Headman Moyo was appointed Deputy Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs.
Deputy Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities Yeukai Simbanegavi was also reassigned to become the Deputy Minister of Energy and Power Development.
Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, known for his investigative work, opined that the recent reassignments and appointments bear a striking resemblance to the events that unfolded during the final years of the late former president Robert Mugabe’s tenure. He wrote on social media:
<blockquote>
This reminded me of Robert Mugabe’s worst, ruinous, and final years in power. He was now rearranging the chairs on his sinking Titanic before it struck the iceberg in November 2017.
In a country with renowned intellects, it is tragic that some of Mnangagwa’s cabinet ministers occupy seats at the national table.
These must be Zimbabwe’s worst years in terms of political leadership, it is just a painfully sorry soap opera to watch.
Without a competent opposition in place, the country’s ship is simply being pushed sideways and backwards by the ocean’s winds.
</blockquote>
In November 2017, Zimbabwe’s military launched an unexpected coup and named it Operation Restore Legacy.
Mugabe eventually resigned as Zimbabwe’s president after nearly four decades in office, following negotiations and the threat of impeachment.

Mnangagwa Reassigns Ministers, Appoints Deputy Ministers

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s new cabinet met for the first time this Tuesday, 26 September.
During the meeting, Mnangagwa announced that he had appointed Martin Rushwaya, who is his relative, as the Secretary to the President and Cabinet.
Rushwaya, a former Secretary for the Ministry of Defence, took over from Misheck Sibanda, who retired.
Mnangagwa has been accused of nepotism after he appointed his relatives to key government positions following his controversial re-election on 23 August.
He appointed his son Kudakwashe David and Tongai, his brother’s son, as deputy cabinet ministers.
Rushwaya is also a cousin to the controversial former Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) president and the current Zimbabwe Miners Federation president Henrietta Rushwaya.
Some of the Cabinet Ministers are considered Mnangagwa’s clansmen and cronies who are not the most competent people to serve in their respective portfolios.

Mnangagwa Chairs First Cabinet Meeting Since His Re-election

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has challenged the new Cabinet Ministers to practice servant leadership by prioritising the interests of the people and not theirs.
Mnangagwa is in his second and final term following his re-election in disputed polls held on 23 and 24 August.
Addressing new Cabinet ministers, deputy ministers, permanent secretaries, chief executive officers and chairpersons of parastatals and local authorities during a high-level retreat in Harare on Thursday, Mnangagwa said:
<blockquote>
Our people deserve quality, affordable and accessible services. Under our watch, as members of the Executive, more of our people must be taken out of poverty into prosperity, especially the vulnerable, women and youth.
To achieve this, servant leadership, continuous learning and the responsive implementation of policies and projects remain integral.
Further, we must work with a great sense of urgency, unity of purpose and seamless synergies.
… I will not accept the “shef-shef” mentality. We are servants of the people and must manage Government affairs with humility and servant leadership.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa also said public entities should be reformed to guarantee their viability and profitability.
The President urged Ministers and Permanent Secretaries to promote inclusive participation of all the pertinent partners in the economy. He said:
<blockquote>
To enhance inclusive participation of all the stakeholders in the economy, ministers and permanent secretaries must be agile and provide the requisite leadership.
Participation in NDS1 thematic and technical working groups must be taken seriously and meetings, timeously convened.
Dereliction of duty in this regard will not be condoned. You are all directed to entrench the spirit of collaboration, partnerships and joint programming with all stakeholders.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa said his administration will continue to create an environment that attracts investment. He said:
<blockquote>
Government must continue to create an enabling environment for investment. It is my expectation that over the next five years, government business will be anchored by the “Whole of Economy and Society Approach to Development”.
The open-door policy must be the norm and not an exception. Hence, stakeholder engagement and dialogue has to be promoted.

"Serve The People With Humility", Mnangagwa Tells New Cabinet Ministers

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has sworn in three Deputy Ministers at the State House on Thursday morning.
The three are Deputy Minister for Youth Empowerment Development and Vocational Training Kudakwashe Mupamhanga, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Joshua Sacco, and Deputy Minister for Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation and Science and Technology Development Simelisizwe Sibanda.
Mnangagwa announced a 26-member Cabinet on Monday and swore in the Ministers on Tuesday.
ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa was appointed as the Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs, while his wife, Monica, who was previously the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, was named the new Minister of Women Affairs, Community and SMEs Development.
Mnangagwa appointed his son, Kudakwashe David, as the Deputy Finance Minister as well as his nephew, Tongai, as the Deputy Tourism Minister.
He also retained several individuals from the previous cabinet, among them Kirsty Coventry (Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture), Felix Mhona (Transport and Infrastructure Development), Mthuli Ncube (Finance and Investment Promotion), Kazembe Kazembe (Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage), Ziyambi Ziyambi (Justice Legal and Parliamentary Affairs) Anxious Masuka (Lands and Agriculture), Amon Murwira (Higher and Tertiary Education) Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri (Defence and Security), and Frederick Shava (Foreign Affairs and International Trade).

Three Deputy Ministers Sworn In

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s newly appointed Cabinet goes beyond nepotism and shows that he is a terrified man with no one but friends and family to trust.
This was said by a political commentator, Dr William Mpofu, after Mnangagwa, appointed his son, Kudakwashe David, as the Deputy Finance Minister as well as his nephew, Tongai, as the Deputy Tourism Minister.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/mnangagwas-newly-appointed-cabinet-beyond-nepotism-mpofu/">SABC News</a>, Mpofu said Mnangagwa has lost the support of some of his enablers and is now only left with close friends and relatives to appoint to the Cabinet. He said:
<blockquote>
This is now a faction of a faction that has come to power, President Mnangagwa’s group keeps getting smaller and smaller.
There are many people who were his friends before, that are no longer friends, there are many people who were with him after the coup that are no longer with him.
Hence, he’s left with friends and family to appoint to the Cabinet- this is a terrified man who no longer trusts anyone, who is afraid of everybody, who knows that he’s not wanted.
He’s hated, he’s illegitimate. That’s why he’s willing to subvert the political will of Zimbabweans- it’s not out of power hunger, it’s out of fear.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa appointed his new cabinet following his re-election amid a disputed win by the opposition parties which claimed rigging.
Meanwhile, Mnangagwa retained several individuals from the previous cabinet, among them Mthuli Ncube (Finance and Investment Promotion), Kazembe Kazembe (Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage), Ziyambi Ziyambi (Justice Legal and Parliamentary Affairs) Anxious Masuka (Lands and Agriculture), Amon Murwira (Higher and Tertiary Education) Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri (Defence and Security), and Frederick Shava (Foreign Affairs and International Trade).

"I’m surprised anyone in Cabinet kept their jobs. But also I’m not surprised." Zimbabweans React To New Cabinet

The Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCOZ) and the opposition Labour, Economists and African Democrats (LEAD) party have urged President Emmerson Mnangagwa to appoint a gender-balanced cabinet.
Section 104 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe says “In appointing Ministers and Deputy Ministers, the President must be guided by considerations of regional and gender balance.”
WCOZ said women remain under-represented in the National Assembly and this reveals “the patriarchal nature of public leadership and the systematic discrimination of women” in Zimbabwe. The group said:
<blockquote>
We urge President Mnangagwa to fulfill his constitutional obligation and appoint a gender-balanced cabinet that reflects the diversity of the Zimbabwean people.
</blockquote>
LEAD president Linda Masarira also urged Mnangagwa to appoint a gender-balanced cabinet, in accordance with the constitution. She said:
<blockquote>
We are just demanding at least one-woman vice president, a gender-balanced cabinet and gender balance to be observed as enshrined in the constitution of Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, presidential spokesperson, George Charamba, recently hinted that there won’t be major changes in Cabinet as Mnangagwa begins his second and final term.
<a href="https://newzwire.live/cabinet-dont-expect-surprises-from-a-president-who-ran-on-a-continuity-platform/">newZWire</a> quoted Charamba as saying Mnangagwa will be announcing a Cabinet “with a sense of urgency” as he gets down to business. 
The last cabinet was dominated by men, and Mnangagwa recently reappointed Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi as the Vice Presidents.

Women's Group Demands A Gender-balanced Cabinet

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s spokesman, George Charamba, has hinted that there won’t be major changes in Cabinet as his principal begins his second and final term.
Charamba said Mnangagwa will announce a new Cabinet soon and the focus will be on completing “far-flung projects around infrastructure” that he started during his first term.
Mnangagwa has already named his two deputies, Constantino Chiwenga, and Kembo Mohadi, who resigned in shame early in 2021 over a sex scandal.
<a href="https://newzwire.live/cabinet-dont-expect-surprises-from-a-president-who-ran-on-a-continuity-platform/">newZWire</a> quoted Charamba as saying Mnangagwa will be announcing a Cabinet “with a sense of urgency” as he gets down to business. Said Charamba:
<blockquote>
By the way, we shouldn’t forget that the President ran on the ticket of continuity. He started lots of far-flung projects around infrastructure, be it roads, rail, water, energy; the whole area is yet to be completed.

Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube lost his bid to be elected to Parliament after contesting in Cowdray Park in Bulawayo.
Observers say Ncube will likely continue despite losing after the Ministry of Finance released a statement on Thursday saying it would continue with current economic policies.
Ahead of ZANU PF primaries that were held in March this year, Mnangagwa said his Agriculture Minister, Anxious Masuka “will be a non-constituency Member of Parliament”, an indication that he will continue.
Ministers who lost their seats include Industry Minister Sekai Nzenza who lost her constituency in Chikomba to delimitation.
She then contested another seat in the party primary but lost to Felix Mhona, the Transport Minister who went on to win the seat in the election.
Tourism Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu also lost his seat after his Bulilima East was collapsed into a new constituency, Bulilima.
Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi lost party primaries in Zvimba West but is reported to be a Mnangagwa favourite and will most likely bounce back.
Mnangagwa is allowed to appoint five Cabinet Ministers from outside parliament.
In 2018, Mnangagwa’s non-constituency Cabinet Ministers were Ncube, Amon Murwira as Higher Education Minister, Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry, Obadiah Moyo as Health Minister, and July Moyo at the Local Government Ministry.

New Cabinet: Mnangagwa Spokesperson Hints At Continuity

CCC leader Nelson Chamisa on Monday expressed confidence that he will triumph in the 23 August elections, telling his supporters that he has already started formulating his Cabinet, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/2023-elections/article/200015651/im-preparing-next-cabinet-chamisa">NewsDay</a>.
Chamisa urged thousands of his supporters during the party’s final rally at Robert Mugabe Square in Harare, to remain at polling stations within the permitted 300-metre radius after voting to guard against electoral theft. Said Chamisa:
<blockquote>
God has remembered Zimbabwe. Congratulations Zimbabwe. God’s plan will never fail. I have already started formulating my Cabinet…
There is no way we will not [win]. Some people think there is going to be a repeat of 2018. Not this time. We are not donor-funded. We are funded by the citizens.
We will not accept failure by ZEC [Zimbabwe Electoral Commission] to fix V11s on polling stations. We will start the celebrations on Thursday.
Tomorrow [Tuesday] we are tying up loose ends. We have managed to provide polling agents to all 12 374 polling stations…
Let’s guard against theft. Let’s stay at the polling stations, 300 metres away and guard against the theft of our vote.
There is no rigging that they can do that we are not aware of.
</blockquote>
Chamisa accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of gerrymandering electoral boundaries and imposing double candidates on the CCC.
He also said he met election observers on Monday and briefed them on electoral irregularities.
Election campaigning ended on Monday and candidates are not allowed to campaign this Tuesday, 22 August.
Wednesday, 23 August, the day of the elections, has been declared a public holiday through a Government Gazette announcement.

I'm Preparing Zimbabwe's Next Cabinet - Chamisa

CCC national organising secretary, Amos Chibaya, says he will grab the Local Government and Public Works ministerial portfolio from the incumbent, July Moyo of ZANU PF next year.
Addressing a party fundraising event in Birmingham, UK, earlier this month, Chibaya said CCC president Nelson Chamisa will form the country’s government after general elections scheduled for 2023.
He also urged the party’s supporters in the diaspora to start establishing a skills database so that they will occupy top positions in the new CCC-led government.
The Mkoba MP said he has already informed Chamisa that he ought to be rewarded for his “hard work” with a Cabinet position and should be appointed Minister of Local Government and Public Works.
Chibaya assured CCC supporters that President Emmerson Mnangagwa doesn’t stand a chance in next year’s polls and will vacate State House “whether he likes it or not.” | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/ill-be-the-minister-of-ccc-organising-secretary-chibaya-reveals-his-cabinet-job-when-chamisa-takes-over-power/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

CCC Organising Secretary Chibaya Reveals His Cabinet Job When Chamisa Takes Power

The Zimbabwean cabinet Tuesday set US$150 as the minimum payable wage across all sectors saying it can be paid either in Zimbabwe dollars or foreign currency at the prevailing bank rate.
Speaking during a post-cabinet briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Senator Monica Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
Pertaining to salaries and wages, here are some of the recommendations:- that a guide be provided to all bargaining platforms across all sectors to strive towards pegging the minimum wage at US$150.00 payable either in ZWL$ or at the prevailing bank rate.
</blockquote>
This comes when government workers have since 2019 been at loggerheads with the employer demanding restoration of their pre-October 2018 salaries which were around US$540. 
The government resorted to paying workers in local currency in 2019 following the reintroduction of the Zimbabwe dollar in June of that month. 
The Zimbabwe dollar which was pegged at 1: 1 against the USD when it was reintroduced has been shedding value at an unparalleled rate thereby eroding workers’ salaries.
The government says it has no means to pay all its workers in United States Dollars.

Govt Sets US$150 As Minimum Payable Wage Across Sectors

FULL TEXT: Second Post-cabinet Press Briefing: 22 February, 2022

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Tuesday warned Cabinet ministers against globetrotting with no tangible results and instead focus on developmental programmes in line with Vision 2030.
He said the unnecessary foreign trips by Cabinet ministers must stop immediately.
The President made the remarks while addressing ministers at the first 2022 Cabinet meeting at the State House in Harare yesterday. He said:
<blockquote>
… I have observed a worrisome trend where, as ministers, you are now prone to foreign travel, along with your senior officials. This unbecoming culture should stop forthwith.
</blockquote>
Former Finance minister and Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) vice-president Tendai Biti dismissed Mnangagwa’s statements on foreign travels as a trick intended to attract attention and mislead the public. Said Biti:
<blockquote>
It is deceit and lies. No Cabinet minister travels out of the country without Cabinet approval and it’s Mnangagwa who issues Cabinet approval.
No minister travels out of the country without the approval of the President.
This is just a statement full of dishonesty because Mnangagwa is the one who signs the approvals for the trip.
</blockquote>
Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget and Finance chairperson Mathew Nyashanu told NewsDay that most foreign travel by government officials was unnecessary. He said:
<blockquote>
While foreign travel is necessary for appreciation of best practices across the globe through benchmarking exercises and for research and development, some of the travels by government officials is extremely wasteful and unnecessary.
This is bleeding an already burdened fiscus. The President’s comment is in line with the ongoing Public Finance Management reforms, where we are trying to tighten screws on public expenditure.
We are in the process of strengthening our Public Finance Management in order to reduce such leakages.

Mnangagwa Chides Ministers Over Unnecessary Foreign Trips

Zimbabwe’s Cabinet ministers and heads of government agencies will now be required to sign performance-based contracts that will be evaluated annually.
This is being done to create a culture of accountability and taxpayers will be made aware of how cabinet ministers and government officials performed after evaluation.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary, Nick Mangwana said:
<blockquote>
When President Mnangagwa was inaugurated in 2018 he made a speech and he said he is bringing servant leadership and said the days of bureaucratic bottlenecks have come and gone.
Permanent secretaries signed in 2021 and now cabinet ministers have been added for the first time in the history of the country that a cabinet minister is made to sign. That is new territory.
The projects that we are running have a lot to do with the people, the ordinary citizen, the officials are there to serve the people.
</blockquote>
A ceremony where cabinet ministers and government officials will sign the contracts will be held on Thursday next week.
Since his inauguration as Zimbabwe’s second Executive President following the military coup that ousted the late former president Robert Mugabe in 2017, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has fired several cabinet ministers for different alleged misdemeanours.
Those who have been sacked include Prisca Mupfumira, Joram Gumbo, Energy Mutodi, Fortune Chasi and Owen Ncube.

The government has <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/10/05/ed-extends-lockdown-bars-and-pubs-allowed-to-reopen/">extended the level 2 lockdown</a> by a further two weeks despite a decline in new coronavirus infections and deaths in recent weeks.
Speaking during a Post-Cabinet meeting media briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a> said law enforcement agents shall continue enforcing the measures. Said Mutsvagwa:
<blockquote>
In spite of the declining cases of Covid-19 cases the Level Two lockdown will be maintained for a further two weeks and members of the public should strictly adhere to the stipulated measures.
Given that the Covid-19 intensity and duration both increase with each wave, citizens should continue to observe the Covid-19 protocols and preventive measures in place in order to prevent a fourth wave.
Law enforcement agents and the Public Service Commission will continue to strictly enforce the Covid-19 containment measures, especially the vaccination requirements pertaining to gatherings, opening of bars and nightclubs, and the requirement for civil servants to be vaccinated in order to be allowed to report for work.
</blockquote>
The government recently allowed the leisure sector to reopen, but only for the fully vaccinated.
Only those who have had both jabs can eat in restaurants, go to the cinema and theatre, enter a bar or nightclub, or play sport.

COVID-19: Level 2 Lockdown Has Been Extended

Cabinet on Tuesday resolved that there is no longer any need to quarantine travellers from countries that were considered to be afflicted with the Delta variant before such as India. 
This is because the Delta variant is now 98 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Zimbabwe. Pindula News presents some of the Cabinet resolutions as reported by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Senator Mutsvangwa at a post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday in the capital.
<blockquote>
1) All local activities in which the participants are below the age of 14, shall in all cases be checked for COVID-19 symptoms, have regular temperature checks and follow social distancing protocols as well as play sport with the same age group where possible.
2) Athletes or Children aged 14-18 are highly recommended to get vaccinated and the National Sports Associations can work with the Sports Recreation Commission to get this done. 
3) All Sports Clubs must ensure that their coaches, managers and any support staff are vaccinated. 
4) Sporting activities can now be resumed subject to strict observance of COVID-19 prevention measures and protocols. Attendant staff should be vaccinated. 
5) Gymnasia and health spas can now open to only vaccinated clients. All staff should also be vaccinated. 
6) Cinemas and theatres can now allow 50 per cent sitting capacity of vaccinated clients and all workers should be vaccinated.
</blockquote>
The resolutions are made at the backdrop of a decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections and deaths in recent weeks.

Cabinet: Sports Resume, No Quarantine For Travellers From Delta-Affected Countries

The MDC Alliance has accused legislators who became MPs on its ticket and dumped the party for the MDC-T led by Douglas Mwonzora in order to retain their positions of being sellouts who sacrificed the electorate for selfish gains.
This comes after Mwonzora last week announced a 26-member shadow cabinet and 10 Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution. 
MDC Alliance’s Felix Magalela Sibanda told NewsDay that it was a waste of time for the Mwonzora faction to appoint a Shadow Cabinet when it had no following. Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
The so-called appointees are opportunists and Mwonzora is trying to cause confusion on the part of the electorate.
Dube, who claims to be a legal mind, was elected into office on an MDC Alliance ticket in Gweru, where people are now labelling him a sell-out.
They are all opportunists looking for power and we are not worried about them.
We are not surprised by these opportunists. The MDC-T has no followers and Mwonzora’s legitimacy was only directed by the courts.

Mwonzora Names 26-member Shadow Cabinet

National Assembly Speaker Jacob Mudenda (ZANU PF), has criticised ministers and their deputies for their failure to come to parliament saying this has greatly affected proceedings in the august house.
Mudenda said that the absence of the members of the Executive arm of government from Parliament has denied legislators the opportunity to raise issues of national interest with the government officials.
The Speaker said in parliament this week that ministers have developed a habit of writing to parliament making excuses about their absence.
This has left Ziyambi Ziyambi, who is the leader of government business to answer questions on ministers’ behalf.
Mudenda named the Minister of Health and Child Care Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri among the chief culprits. Said Mudenda:
<blockquote>I have received so many apologies from honourable ministers. Honourable leader of government business.
While apologies are accepted, they are now becoming a habit. That habit is unacceptable.
There are some ministers who are perpetually sending apologies. That is not good for the country and parliament at large.
The ministers are honourable Vice President, Dr Chiwenga and Minister of Health and Child Care; honourable Muchinguri-Kashiri, Minister of Defence and War Veterans; honourable Mutsvangwa, Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services; honourable Dr Shava, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade; honourable Mathema, Minister of Primary and Secondary Education; honourable Edgar Moyo, Deputy Minister, Primary and Secondary Education.
Like this one honourable, leader of government business, you cannot have the minister away and the deputy away.</blockquote>
Norton MP Temba Mliswa (Independent) recently suggested that President Emmerson Mnangagwa should come and respond to questions if his cabinet ministers are not available.
Last week, Mliswa also called on parliament to suspend question and answers sessions as per tradition every Wednesday if the cabinet ministers could not commit to the obligation.

Mudenda Castigates Ministers For Avoiding Parliament

Zimbabwe’s law enforcement agents are intensifying efforts to curb the re-emergence of “illegal transport operators” in an endeavour to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The development was announced by the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Senator <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Monica_Mutsvangwa">Monica Mutsvangwa</a> during Tuesday’s post-cabinet briefing. She observed:
<blockquote>Law enforcement agents are intensifying efforts to curb the re-emergence of illegal transport operators. Seventeen thousand seven hundred and twenty seven (17 727) arrests were made countrywide during the week under review for flouting the various lockdown regulations, bringing the total arrested so far to 607 386.</blockquote>
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country in March 2020, the government <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/08/11/passengers-association-calls-for-the-lifting-of-kombi-ban/">banned private transport</a> not registered with the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_United_Passenger_Company">Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO)</a> from carrying members of the public.
The ban created a huge transport shortage as ZUPCO has inadequate vehicles to sustain the demand that has been increasing since the reopening of the economy.
In the recent past, some private commuter omnibus (kombi) operators, started pirating some routes, a development the government is saying was hamstringing efforts to weather the coronavirus storm.

Govt Intensify Efforts To Curb Re-emergence Of "Illegal Transport Operators"

The government of Zimbabwe is expecting the 2021 maize yield to surpass 2.8 million tonnes for the first time since 1984, Newswire reports.
The matter came to light in parliament after it emerged the government was planning on purchasing 1.8 million tonnes of maize and 200,000 tonnes of small grains and the gains will cost the government Z$65.2 billion, against a budget of $8 that was set aside by the Treasury for the same purpose.
The cabinet said in a statement:
<blockquote>Cabinet was informed that although the Ministry is awaiting the results of the First Round of the Crops and Livestock Assessment later in March, 2021, for planning purposes an estimated national production of 2,5 to 2,8 million metric tonnes of maize an 360 000 metric tonnes of traditional grains has been based on the promising bumper harvest in 2021.
On the basis of the afore-stated estimates, deliveries to the GMB are expected to be 2 million metric tonnes of cereals (that is, 1.8  million  metric tonnes of maize and 200 000 metric tonnes of traditional grains).</blockquote>
The grain producer price that was set by the government in December for maize is $32 000 and $38 000 for small grains. In 1984 over 2.9 million tonnes were harvested in Zimbabwe followed by 2017 when 2.1 million tonnes were harvested.
The government has not yet explained how it plans to fund purchasing grains from farmers given the huge deficit they are facing.

Mnangagwa Appoints SB Moyo, JB Matiza & Mutodi Replacements

The ruling ZANU PF party has reminded cabinet ministers that they are not serving their personal interests in government and should always toe the party line.
While addressing a provincial co-ordinating committee meeting (PCC) in Mashonaland East on Sunday, ZANU PF politburo member and acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa said all government programmes which were funded by all Zimbabweans through tax collections, regardless of political affiliation, should be credited to his party.
He further warned cabinet ministers that the party was watching them and they risk being fired if they fail to give credit to ZANU PF for their achievements. He said:
<blockquote>There should be no programme done by the government that should be done without Zanu PF being given credit and being at the forefront.
We don’t want to hear that you are commissioning a road, yet Zanu PF does not know when we are the ones who sent you; we are going to construct a dam, then you proceed to build a dam without informing the party.
It is the party that should get credit for all the work that you do in government, us as Zanu PF.
If you behave and act in that manner, we will not have any problems. All ministers in government should not forget that we sent them there, and we are watching if you are toeing the line of the party. If we see that you are pulling in your own direction, we know what to do.</blockquote>
Chinamasa’s remarks ignited an old age debate about the separation between government and Zanu PF.
There are a few cabinet ministers who are not known for being active ZANU PF members such Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube and Sports Minister Kirsty Coventry.
