THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) Friday gazetted the nomination of top diplomat, Frederick Shava as Senator for Midlands province to pave his way for taking oath as the new Foreign Minister.
Most Zimbabweans were recently shocked when Shava, who is currently serving as Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to the United Nations, was appointed Foreign Minister by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
He replaced the late Sibusiso Moyo who succumbed to Covid-19 last month.
However, Shava could not take oath of office as minister as his new appointment had to be regularised first in terms of the Constitution.
ZEC also notified the nomination of Dorothy Mabika as a Zanu PF Senator for Manicaland province. She replaces the Ellen Gwaradzimba who also died after testing Covid-19 positive last month.
