VP Chiwenga
THE appointment of Frederick Shava to the Foreign Affairs ministerial post this week has further entrenched President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s hold on power, capitalising on political contingency and opportunities triggered by recent deaths of top government officials including Sibusiso Moyo who was instrumental in his ascendency to power, analysts say.
Shava, a diplomat with a tainted past from the late 1980s through his involvement in the Willowgate scandal and his robust defence of the Gukurahundi genocide, replaces the late Foreign minister Moyo who succumbed to Covid-19 a fortnight ago.
Moyo, an ally of Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga, was a key figure in the 2017 military coup that toppled Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe. Besides being the face of the coup, he played a central role in mobilising resources and planning the coup.
Mnangagwa and Chiwenga
AFTER his initial daring purges of military commanders who propelled him to power through a military coup in November 2017, President Emmerson Mnangagwa is now capitalising on political contingency and opportunities triggered by the death of four ministers due to Covid-19 to consolidate power and ensure he survives the Zanu PF elective congress next year, insiders say.

The sources said Mnangagwa is moving to tighten his dead man’s grip on power by phasing out the military in cabinet, while bringing in close political allies.
Mnangagwa is also seeking to seal his position as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, although he had initially agreed to a deal with his co-deputy Constantino Chiwenga to serve one term after being thrust into power by the army.
