Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has split the Finance and Economic Development Ministry into two.
Professor Mthuli Ncube remains Finance Minister, while Businessperson Kudakwashe Tagwirei takes over as Minister of Economic Development and Investment Promotion.
Tagwirei’s appointment is likely to fuel scrutiny over his growing political influence, with some analysts and observers portraying him as a possible contender in Zimbabwe’s succession debate.
Ncube will retain responsibility for fiscal policy and the national budget.
