Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reportedly dismissed the Permanent Secretary for Local Government and Public Works, Mr. Zvinechimwe Churu Muguti, in an unexplained reshuffle that has sent ripples through political circles. The abrupt sacking comes just two months after Muguti’s appointment, raising questions about the stability of key administrative positions within the government.
Adding to the administrative shifts, President Mnangagwa has also officially gazetted the ministerial responsibilities, a move aimed at clarifying the roles of the newly separated economic ministries.
