President Mnangagwa gave Emmanuel Matatu his full General stripes and told him to keep tabs on global security shifts since warfare keeps changing with tech advances and terrorism threats. The commander-in-chief said Matatu needs to transform the Zimbabwe Defence Forces into a world-class outfit that handles peacekeeping across SADC and beyond while staying disciplined and professional.
Matatu pledged to modernize the military and chase the middle-income economy goal by 2030, and he said he'll stick to what the Constitution demands. Later that same day, Matatu turned around and pinned Lieutenant General Asher Walter Tapfumaneyi with his new insignia as the Zimbabwe National Army boss after the guy spent years climbing ranks since the force got created.
