Zimbabwe’s ambassadors will sign performance-based contracts starting in 2023 so that their performances will be measured.
This was said by the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda who was speaking at the ongoing retreat for diplomats and senior management in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Bulawayo. He said:
<blockquote>
In order to strengthen the work of diplomats in our foreign missions, Government is extending performance contracts to ambassadors so that their performance while abroad is measured starting in 2023.

He said diplomats must vigorously market the country as a safe investment and tourist destination and explore markets for the country’s products.
Performance contracts were introduced in 2021 to objectively measure the performance of senior public officials in Government, that is, permanent secretaries of ministries, cabinet ministers, among others, as well as local authorities and heads of State-owned enterprises. | <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/performance-based-contracts-for-ambassadors/">The Herald</a>

ED Appoints Public Service Commission Deputy Chair

The government’s penchant for making a host of bureaucratic appointments continues unabated with the latest appointment of 10 provincial development co-ordinators (PDCs) for each of the country’s 10 provinces.
The appointments were approved by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, with the PDCs expected to assist Ministers of State for Provincial Affairs with “technical and administrative support”.
The appointments of the PDCs are effective from September 1.
Justifying the appointments in a statement issued on Saturday, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda said:
<blockquote>The PDCs are, therefore, critical technical actors in the formulation of provincial growth and transformation strategies that are aligned to National Development Plans and will enable Zimbabwe to realise its vision to become an upper-middle-income economy and society in 2030.</blockquote>
The PDCs are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Paul Nyoni – Bulawayo</li>

ED Approves Appointment Of Provincial Development Coordinators

The government has refused to give in to former vice president Phelekezela Mphoko’s request to have his pension paid in United States dollars.
Mphoko approached the court declaring government’s decision to withhold his US$320 000 pension illegal and unconstitutional.
However, the Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda, said Mphoko did not explain how he arrived at US$320 000. Instead, the former Vice President will be paid ZWL$765 706,58 as pension and benefits. Said Sibanda:
<blockquote>The applicant cannot simply convert what he used to earn at the going bank rate without taking into consideration the changes brought in by the departure of the multicurrency regime.
In this regard, therefore, there is a dispute as to what the respondent may be entitled to.
I have in the circumstances asked for computation to be done by the pensions office as regards the amount due and payable to Mphoko and I am reliably informed that the amount is $765 706.58.</blockquote>
Mphoko was appointed vice president in December 2014, until he was removed from office in November 2017 following a military coup that toppled the late former president Robert Mugabe.
He joined the civil service in 1981 and according to the law, he is entitled to a pension and benefits.

Speaking to officials over the weekend, Sibanda said:
<blockquote>We want to now take certain initiatives arising from cabinet; for instance one issue that has been constraining the reconstruction programme is the tight procurement procedures.

High Court judge Justice Priscilla Chigumba has been appointed as the new chairperson of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Justice Chigumba replaces former chairperson,<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/12/09/people-reacted-rita-makaraus-resignation-zec/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> Justice Rita Makarau who quit her post as the boss of the electoral body in December last year</a>, soon after the fall of former president Robert Mugabe in the military intervention launched by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF).  Justice Makarau did not state the reasons for her abrupt departure, although critics opined that she had been pushed into resigning because of her close relationship to former president Robert Mugabe and the G40 Faction which was vanquished during Operation Restore Legacy.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa had publicly stated that he was specifically looking for a female judge to replace Makarau because the deputy chairperson is a man, in order to maintain balance. The letter of appointment which was written by the Chief Secretary to the Office of the President and the Cabinet, Dr Misheck Sibanda.

Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda said that the government will create 2 million <a href="https://vacancymail.co.za/categories/legal-jobs-in-south-africa/">jobs</a> through the creation of Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The three SEZs Sunway City in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, are expected to have started operating by the first quarter of 2018. The SEZs are Sunway City in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Speaking after a tour of the Harvest Fresh Africa horticultural processing plant in Chegutu yesterday, Sibanda said:
<blockquote>We are moving as far as we are concerned. Our job is to ensure that we turn around the economy and employ near two million people if not more and the kind of project we have seen today as you have heard here, it will create <a href="https://vacancymail.co.za/categories/internships-apprenticeships-learnerships/">jobs</a> no less than 2 000, which is something we should be proud of

Said Sibanda:
<blockquote>We are going round it (funding) even through equity funding, through loans. Only yesterday (Thursday) the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development (Dr <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Joram_Gumbo">Joram Gumbo</a>) launched the project on the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu road which is funded through equity as well as a loan. So we are in a joint venture and that is why the President mentioned the idea of joint venture projects. This is what is happening even here. There are other ways. It is not just direct funding. Apart from the fund that we are trying to come up with — the Sovereign Wealth Fund — we are still in the process of mobilising resources. They are not yet there but that cannot stop us moving forward.</blockquote>
