The acting president told the new army boss that all the security branches need to work together better. Acting President Kembo Mohadi stressed closer coordination among national security organs during a meeting with the newly appointed Zimbabwe National Army Commander, Lieutenant-General Asher Walter Tapfumaneyi. The general said the discussion highlighted the unity of purpose among leaders from the army, air force, police, prison service, and the Central Intelligence Organization as critical for national stability. Tapfumaneyi called the visit part of a traditional courtesy to the appointing authorities following his promotion last month.
He stated the acting president's main emphasis was on cooperation to ensure the people of Zimbabwe could feel safe and secure. Tapfumaneyi took over his role from General Emmanuel Matatu, who was elevated to Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. That handover ceremony was witnessed by Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, who described the change as a key milestone. She praised both officers for careers spanning from the liberation struggle to post-independence service, urging continued discipline and patriotism in safeguarding the country's peace.
