President Mnangagwa fired army boss Sanyatwe Tuesday night and removed him from military service completely. Next, he named Sanyatwe the new person running sports across Zimbabwe. This fills the empty seat left when Kirsty Coventry won big at the Olympic Committee.

The president made these changes right away—no waiting around. A newspaper called The Standard already knew this might happen. They printed a story about it last weekend. People say Sanyatwe hangs out with Vice-President Chiwenga's group. Martin Rushwaya officially told everyone about the switch.

Political expert Eldred Masunungure thinks Mnangagwa feels scared someone might try to take his job. "This seems like the president wants to stop anyone planning to push him out," he said. He believes army leaders might agree with war veteran Blessed Geza, who wants protests. The president has been changing who runs important security groups lately.

In January, Mnangagwa appointed new bosses for police and secret intelligence. He moved Shepherd Mutamba up to run all police and grabbed Fulton Mangwanya from Parks to lead the spy agency. Sanyatwe caused problems before when he yelled that ZANU PF would control Zimbabwe forever "whether you like it or not." He screamed party slogans despite running the army that should stay neutral.
