Zec clears way for Shava swearing-in
Senior Reporter
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) yesterday gazetted the nomination of Dr Frederick Shava and Dorothy Mabika to replace the late Dr Sibusiso Moyo and Dr Ellen Gwaradzimba respectively as Senators after Zanu-PF submitted their names to the electoral management body.
The nomination of Dr Shava to become a Senator paves way for him to assume, after his swearing-in, the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade following his appointment by President Mnangagwa.
Dr Shava, who is currently Zimbabwe’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, United States, could not take oath of office together with four other appointees as his appointment had to be regularised in terms of the Constitution.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa declare the coronavirus outbreak a national disaster. Well, there was something like a single death and a handful of cases then, so you wouldn’t call it a disaster if you stuck to what your professor taught you in the disaster management class.
