Obert Mpofu defies orders to vacate his Secretary-General position following Christopher Mutsvangwa's Tuesday announcement of party leadership changes. President Emmerson Mnangagwa allegedly reassigned Mpofu to oversee Information and Communication Technology while promoting Jacob Mudenda to Secretary-General. Patrick Chinamasa assumed Mudenda's previous Treasury role as Justice Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi moved to Legal Affairs Secretary. These appointments have created administrative confusion within the ranks of ZANU-PF.
Conflicting documentation emerged regarding John Gowa's designation as a Liberation Hero, dated September 25, 2025. Mpofu signed one letter bearing official stamps, while Mudenda endorsed an identical unstamped version. Both communications reached Martin Rushwaya at the President's office, requesting burial arrangements and family benefits. The dual correspondence highlights ongoing disputes over legitimate party authority and administrative control.
