ED in no hurry to replace Mohadi

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s decision to reassign key staff in former Vice-President Kembo Mohadi’s office could be an indication that the Zanu PF leader was in no hurry to replace his embattled former deputy, analysts have said.

Mohadi (71) resigned last month over sexual allegations with a subordinate, aide and students to “save government’s image”.

Mnangagwa was expected to immediately appoint Mohadi’s replacement, but on Tuesday transferred senior staffers in his former deputy’s office to other portfolios in what observers said could be a sign that he was doing away with the office.
