President to recall envoys

Chronicle Reporter
PRESIDENT Mugabe will spare two non-Zanu PF envoys – one from the MDC and another from the MDC-T – during a forthcoming reshuffle of diplomatic staff, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation reported last night. Ambassador Trudy Stevenson, who is posted in Dakar, Senegal, will be staying put along with the MDC-T’s Hilda Mafudze, Zimbabwe’s top diplomat in Khartoum, Sudan.

But the President will wield the axe on three MDC-T envoys who were posted in 2009 following a power sharing government with the two MDC parties.

Scandal-hit Jacqueline Zwambila, the country’s envoy to Australia, is being recalled at the end of December along with Hebson Makuvise (Germany) and Mabhedi Ngulane, who was posted to Abuja, Nigeria.
