Under His Excellency the President’s wise stewardship of the Second Republic, the National Development Strategy 1 is in its final lap, and the development of the successor National Development Strategy 2 has commenced in earnest.

A review of mandates has revealed the need to carry out institutional adjustments to allow for greater clarity and agility in the implementation of policies to drive inclusive growth and transformation.

In light of the above, additional posts of Deputy Minister have been created as follows:

1. The Ministry of Local Government and Public Works now has a Deputy Minister responsible for Public Works and Maintenance of Government Buildings, who is already in office. The Member of Parliament for Nketa Constituency, Honourable Albert Tawanda Mavunga comes in as Deputy Minister responsible for Local Authorities and Traditional Leadership.

The Member of Parliament for Mutoko North Constituency, Honourable Caleb Makwiranzou, comes in as the Deputy Minister responsible for Oil and Gas Research including other Strategic Minerals Exploration.
