Confirming the appointments on his twitter, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information Publicity and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana tweeted on his official X account statements from his boss, Dr Martin Rushwaya the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet.
“RE-ASSIGNMENT OF MINISTERS
In terms of Subsection 1 of Section 104 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, His Excellency the President, Cde. Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has reassigned the under-listed Ministers as follows:

: Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare.
The re-assignments are with immediate effect.
Dr. M. Rushwaya,” Rushwaya wrote in his statement.
In another separate statement, President Mnangagwa appointed the new CIO boss with the Chief Secretary in respect of the appointment of Dr Mangwanya, Dr Rushwaya stating: “In terms of Section 226(1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, His Excellency the President, Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has appointed Dr Fulton Mangwanya as the Director General, President’s Department. The appointment is with immediate effect.”
Mangwanya takes over from Ambassador Isaac Moyo, who was in charge of the department from December 8, 2017.
When Ambassador Moyo assumed the DG’s post, he was Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to South Africa and the United Kingdom of Lesotho.
Dr Mangwanya had been the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management’s director-general since August 1, 2017, who had replaced Edson Chidziya, who left the organisation in 2015.

These reassignments are with immediate effect and ignited a storm on twitter space on why a president on leave makes appointments when there is already an Acting President retired Colonel Kembo Dulgish Mohadi who will take turns with his Vice President counterpart Retired General Constantine Guvheya Nyikadzino Dominic Chiwenga.
