News / Nationalby Staff reporterZimbabwe's ruling party has been thrown into fresh turmoil after President Emmerson Mnangagwa stripped Dr Obert Mpofu of his position as ZANU PF Secretary-General and reassigned him to the less influential role of Secretary for Information Communication Technology. Security sources revealed that the Central Intelligence Organization warned him of serious risks, including the possibility that his closest associates might face arrest in his absence. Jacob Mudenda, until now the Treasurer General, has replaced Mpofu as Secretary-General, a powerful post that gives him control of the party's administrative machinery. Patrick Chinamasa, previously in charge of Legal Affairs, has moved into the Treasurer General's office, a role that puts him at the centre of ZANU PF's financial operations. Meanwhile, Ziyambi Ziyambi has shifted from the ICT portfolio to become the new Secretary for Legal Affairs, positioning another Mnangagwa loyalist in a crucial post as the succession contest sharpens.The changes have been read as a clear attempt to consolidate Mnangagwa's support base by placing trusted allies in pivotal roles, while simultaneously undermining Chiwenga's camp.
