Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Martin Rushwaya as the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet following Misheck Sibanda\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa announced Rushwaya\u2019s appointment on Tuesday, 26 September, when he addressed the first cabinet meeting following the disputed 23 August Harmonised Elections.<\/p>\n

Prior to his latest appointment, Rushwaya was the Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for administration, finance and human resources.<\/p>\n

Rushwaya is related to Mnangagwa, according to a report by The Herald on 26 January 2019.<\/p>\n

The report said Mnangagwa was related to Rushwaya\u2019s mother, Gogo Mary Rushwaya, who died at the Avenues Clinic in Harare on 25 January 2019.<\/p>\n

The report also stated that the Zimbabwe Miners Federation president, Henrietta Rushwaya, was a niece of Gogo Mary Rushwaya.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa has been criticised for appointing his relatives, clansmen and \u201ccronies\u2019 to key government positions since his re-election for his second and final term in elections held last month.<\/p>\n

He appointed his son, Kudakwashe David, as the Deputy Finance Minister as well as his nephew, Tongai, as the Deputy Tourism Minister.<\/p>\n
