Sources say President Mnangagwa put friends in top security jobs to keep his power. He picked former spy chief Tapfumaneyi as army leader, with a rank boost coming soon. Tapfumaneyi once ran secret groups that helped Mnangagwa win votes but scared people at polling places. He does not like Vice President Chiwenga at all, making him perfect for Mnangagwa's plans.
The president also named new spy chiefs throughout the government. Paul Chikawa will handle foreign spies as Benadate Mandongwe takes over office tasks. The old office manager became an ambassador far away in Cuba instead. Another spy leader lost his job completely, moving to a much smaller drug control office. Mnangagwa already replaced the main spy chief with Dr Mangwanya after pushing out Isaac Moyo from that job.
