The military leadership in Zimbabwe faces big changes. General Nzvede will take over as the Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander, replacing General Valerio Sibanda. Insiders have confirmed this move. Sources say Sibanda won't step down but move up to become Vice President instead of Kembo Mohadi.
Recent events add context to these changes. During a weekend ZimEye interview, Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga spoke highly of Mohadi. She mentioned he saved her life when a grenade exploded beneath her feet at White City Stadium. The same interview included her harsh words for ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa. She claimed he used her problems for political advantage without ever speaking to her directly.
Reports indicate that Mohadi won't just leave his Vice President role. He appears headed for complete retirement from all political activities. These leadership shifts come amid ongoing political maneuvering within the ruling party. The timing follows public comments that may have influenced decisions at the highest levels.
Power transitions happen regularly within Zimbabwe's government structure. This latest shuffle affects both military command and executive leadership simultaneously. The promotion path takes Sibanda from military control to the second-highest civilian office. Multiple sources agree that these announcements should happen very soon.
