HARARE
–
President
Emmerson
Mnangagwa
has
re-deployed
Winston
Chitando
as
Mines
and
Mining
Development
Minister
in
a
mini-cabinet
reshuffle
announced
Wednesday
by
his
office.
Mnangagwa
demoted
Soda
Zhemu
to
the
National
Housing
and
Social
Amenities.
The
President
further
appointed
Daniel
Garwe
to
head
the
Ministry
of
Local
Government
and
Public
Works.
But
the
highlight
is
the
re-appointment
of
Chitando
to
the
country’s
mainstay
mining
industry.
Prior
to
his
re-appointment,
Chitando
was
Local
Government
Minister.
Chitando
pioneered
government’s
ambitious
US$12
billion
mining
industry
target
which
authorities
say
has
been
achieved
and
further
exceeded
expectation.
In
his
new
reshuffle,
Mnangagwa
also
appointed
Musa
Ncube
as
deputy
minister
of
National
Housing
and
Social
Amenities
while
Headman
Moyo
was
redeployed
to
deputy
minister
of
War
veterans
of
the
Liberation
Struggle.
