Zanu-PF conducted a major politburo reshuffle on 23 September 2025, naming Jacob Mudenda as the party's fourth secretary general since its inception in 1963. The appointment marks a rare leadership change in this senior position throughout the organization's 62-year history. Mudenda transitions from his previous roles as Treasurer General and National Assembly Speaker to assume these new responsibilities.
The reshuffle reassigned several key officials within party ranks. Obert Mpofu moved from secretary general to head the Information Communication Technology portfolio. Patrick Chinamasa shifted from Secretary for Legal Affairs to Treasurer-General. Ziyambi, who serves as Justice Minister, accepted the position of Legal Affairs Secretary after previously managing ICT duties.
This restructuring reflects the evolving internal dynamics of the ruling party and represents a strategic realignment within Zimbabwe's political landscape.
