Khaya Moyo settles for Senate seat

Zanu PF national chairman Simon Khaya Moyo was on Thursday sworn in as a non-constituency Senator by President of the Senate Edna Madzongwe, amid reports that he was destined to replace Vice-President John Nkomo as co-Minister in the Organ of National Healing, Integration and Reconciliation.

Khaya Moyo confirmed that he had replaced Vice-President Nkomo who resigned his Senate post to become a non-constituency MP in the House of Assembly.

He refused to confirm reports he was earmarked for a ministerial post, saying only President Robert Mugabe had the prerogative to do that.
