1. The announcement closes the debate on whether or not Emmerson Mnangagwa (EDM) will create a multiparty government. As I said it from day one, it doesn’t make sense for anyone with 70% of Parliament and 100% military backing to form a multiparty government. This also means that Chinamasa was right and Mutsvangwa was wrong.

2. EDM is allowed by law to appoint 5 people from outside Parliament to become Ministers. So far there are 8 namely July Moyo, Prof Amon Murwira, Perence Shiri, Sibusiso Moyo, Chris Mutsvangwa, Lazarus Dokora, Prof Clever Nyathi and Victor Matemadanda. All male. All old. EDM has 90 days to find a seat in Parliament for at least 3 of these. Otherwise he must do another reshuffle or face court challenges for violation of the constitution.

3) The argument on whether or not EDM supports a small government has also been resolved. A 22 Member Cabinet is not by any chance small. Retaining Chris Mushowe as Minister of Scholarships comes as icing on the cake.

4) The inclusion of such people as Lazarus Dokora also resolves the argument of whether or not EDM wants people who deliver around him.

5) The debate on whether EDM is supportive of affirmative action or not has also been resolved. 3/22 Ministers in the EDM Cabinet are Women. 0/22 are youths.

6) With EDM as President while his wife is Chirumanzi MP and now Chris Mutsvangwa as Information Minister while his wife is Minister of State for Manicaland Province, the days of dynasties are far from over. – Facebook

  1. The people of Zimbabwe will never stop promoting dictators – Hardly three weeks ago – they were cheering the military and Ngwena kuti freedom yauya – now tell us where is it. Tale-tell signs are starting to flash fragmented faeces right into your mouth and eyes.

    Mnangagwa – EDM- Ngwena or whatever you want to call him, is not and will never be in charge of Zimbabwe – the military is in charge – like it or not. EDM is just a rubber stamp president. Another 37 years of sobbing tears, emotions soaring, cursing till the word curse changes spelling.

    Ma Zimba makapusa – sedzvinyu renyu rir kudhonzwa matomu ne ma soja….
