Matanga Responds To "Clinging To Position" Speculation, Outlines Post-Retirement Plans

Former Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Commissioner-General Tandabantu Godwin Matanga, who retired on December 31, 2024, has dismissed rumours suggesting he attempted to cling to his position due to alleged irregularities in his retirement process.

On December 20, 2024, Martin Rushwaya, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, announced that President Mnangagwa had officially retired Matanga, with his deputy, Stephen Mutamba, set to succeed him as Commissioner-General of the ZRP starting January 1, 2025.

However, on January 2, 2025, social media was abuzz with claims that Matanga reported to work in full police uniform, seemingly contradicting the official announcement of his retirement.

Reports indicated that Matanga alleged he had not received any formal dismissal letter and had only learned of his retirement through social media.

The rumours intensified amid claims that the ZRP’s elite Police Support Unit, Romeo Troop, was placed on standby to intervene if Matanga’s presence at the office persisted.

Speaking at a handover and takeover ceremony at the Mkushi Police Academy (formerly Morris Depot) in Harare on January 3, Matanga addressed the rumours, labelling them flawed and premature. He said:

In the same manner may I also take this opportunity to clarify an incorrect position that has been peddled in the media recently pertaining to my retirement.

Ladies and gentlemen, listen carefully. I was properly served by the President of Zimbabwe, His Excellency Dr Mnangagwa at a time when my retirement was due.

Matanga also shared his post-retirement plans, saying, “As I leave the ZRP, let me inform everyone that I will be going into farming, which I benefited from through the government’s land reform programme.”

We understand your situation very well Cde Matanga. You're now speaking at gunpoint and reciting a script written for you by men in dark glasses. That's Zanu for you.

Thank you very much for serving the country as a top police officer. We wish you all the best in your retirement from the force and happier times on your next assignment. @Cde Mutamba, the organization requires the plans and experiences that you have developed over the years. Now is the time to implement the strategies which will restore the gold standard of operation in the ZRP. Technology, technology and technology will lessen the burden of policing on the tired police officers. Better to have a few policeman manning the stations using the best in policing technology which should be able to ensure that the Zimbabwean people are safe. Multi agency approach should foster the Dubai smart policing initiatives which should now be rolled out through the support and collaboration of town councils and municipalities. The traffic department should be removed from the ZRP and be managed by town council police whose fines are more deterrent. The towns councils have a duty to ensure that their town roads and residential areas are covered on central CCTV which should assist their traffic sections to detect offenders. The chaos in the big cities has nothing to do with ZRP but the responsible municipalities. They have burdened the ZRP for too long with their own incompetence. The city father's should have a fully functional metro police and it is their duty to make sure that the ZRP is connected to CCTV for their own CRIME related operations, kwete zvekuona mupurisa achidzingirira kombi nema vendor mu town asi mapurisa e kanzuru vakarara.
