Former Head Of Presidential Guard Finally Vacates Office

Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe, former head of the Presidential Guard finally handed over the post to Brigadier-General Fidelis Mhonda three months after he was moved. NewsDay reports that Sangatwe is yet to be retired from the army despite the announcement in February.

Rumours have been circulating since then suggesting that there was a fallout between president Mnangagwa and vice president Chiwenga over the top commanders’ retirement. Speaking during the hand over take over ceremony yesterday, Sanyatwe said:

I am very pleased this morning and I feel greatly humbled to stand before you officers, men and women of this formation to officially hand over the brigade to Brigadier-General Fidelis Mhonda; a brigade, Presidential Guard brigade, that is intact, formidable, highly trained and loyal to the Commander-in-Chief and our great nation as a whole as per all the standards expected of the guards.

Sanyatwe urged his successor to keep the troops busy to avoid mischief. He also advised the army not to be carried away by social media propaganda, disinformation and subversion.
