The move is seen by analysts as an effort to consolidate his power and sideline rivals within his own party. While details remain speculative, the reshuffle could involve key figures, including those with close ties to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, the former general who helped orchestrate the coup that brought Mnangagwa to power
– Top Army Generals were not present at the handover of cars by Mnangagwa. Air Marshall Nzvede was absent at the function.

Create 50,000 permanent jobs.
Historically, 48 trains a day ran along the PoG section of the line, but this number was reduced significantly by 2012 due to a loss of competitiveness to the rapidly improving road network. A double track has since been added, increasing capacity to 94 trains a day, though only up to 80 are currently operated.
