SOURCES within the military and those close to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga have revealed he is not happy with President Emmerson Mnangagwa's Cabinet appointments and has noted the sidelining of party officials perceived to be his allies.
Mnangagwa last week announced Ministerial appointments dominated by members of his family, and close allies; doing away with Chiwenga's personal doctor Dr. John Mangwiro who was Deputy Health Minister among others.
Usual allies Monica Mutsvangwa, and husband Christopher were also rewarded with Women's Affairs and War Veterans Ministerial posts.Jenfan Muswere, who is reportedly related to the Mnangagwas was appointed Information Minister, despite initial protests at how he had been allowed to contest in Zimbabwe's August 23 elections considering his lack of support.
"The appointments were so brazen and that is what has disappointed Chiwenga," said a source who preferred anonymity. "Chiwenga also questioned why Mangwiro could not just have been appointed Minister of Health, why Gata has a post, and how Owen"Mudha" Ncube has been allowed to come back."
