Today the “new” cabinet of Zimbabwe was announced. Plenty of old comrades retained their offices. While even the likes of Vice President Kembo Mohadi has returned after the sex scandal in previous term. Certainly, there is only one value President Emmerson Mnangagwa values and that is loyalty.
That’s why the Cabinet is awful. There is little to no hope here. Appoint his son to the Deputy Minister of Finance, Kuda Mnangagwa. In addition, appointing his nephew Tongai Mnangagwa as the Deputy Minister of Tourism is just telling.
We are also seeing the couple’s duo of Chris Mutsvangwa as the Minister of Veterans of Liberation and wife Monica Mutsvangwa as the Minister of Woman’s Affairs.
A lot of the rest is hard to mention anything specific really. It more of the same old cadres who has retained positions and offices. Only that Vice President Christano Chiwenga lost the Ministry of Health. You can wonder why… maybe he couldn’t handle both offices? We can only speculate, but that is a loss of favour in the public eye.
We can really wonder what is so unique about Mthuli Ncube since he retained as the Minster of Finance. Even after all the years of schemes, lack of working policies and just prolonged agony.
This is just a sign of what to come. Loyalty and stability is the key words for Mnangagwa. Not that its good loyalty or serving the public, but serving the President. Secondly, the stability is that its all familiar and within close association of the Presidency. That’s why they are all there and none of them will give the President any surprises. It is continuing the status quo and giving no hope for a better future.
The ones expecting greatness or grandeur in the near future. Better pray the Chinese wants to invest or that some Belarus company has some sort of spell over a Ministry. Because this lot is more of the same. This isn’t making things better or even trying. It is just prolonging the pain and the hijacking of the Republic.
The ZANU-PF of 2023 is just showing how the Politburo and the party is running the nation. They are not thinking forward or ahead. No, they are going back to the past and continuing to have relics in office. While adding additional familiar faces and making the First Family a Priority. That’s the gig here and the world should be watching.
This is just showing how they disregard the people are in it to eat. That’s the mission and to use the state reserves for their benefits. Expect more Command Agriculture, Trash collection contracts around Harare and other funny business. While civil servants and other state employees will lack proper salaries or even payment on time. The incapacitation of people will continue and the inflation will persist. There is no silver lining here and only another term to loot. That’s what is up and no one in Zimbabwe should be surprised by this.
The crocodile knows who is his kin and who he can trust. That’s why he picked this cabinet. Not because they are the brightest, the brilliant or the ones who fits the bill. No, they are there because they serve his interests and they are loyal to him. This is what he stands for and these are the ones he trusts. Peace.
