Mnangagwa appoints Tagwirei to Senate

President Emmerson Mnangagwa appointed 10 new senators, including businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei, following the enactment of Constitutional Amendment Act 3. Parliament announced the appointments on Tuesday. Critics view the appointments as rewarding political loyalists and consolidating executive power. The opposition argues the move undermines democratic checks. The appointments further entrench Zanu PF’s dominance in the upper house.
