The Ministry of Mines and Mining Development has reportedly made a series of strategic provincial leadership changes following the passing of the former Matabeleland South Provincial Mining Director, the late Tariro Ndhlovu.
In the reshuffle, Midlands Provincial Mining Director (PMD) Mr Mlangeni has been transferred to take up the role of PMD for Matabeleland South. He will be replaced by Mashonaland Central PMD, Mr Makandwa, who will now assume leadership in the Midlands Province.
Additionally, Mashonaland East PMD Mr Kashiri has been reassigned to head Mashonaland Central. This adjustment leaves Mashonaland East under the guidance of an Acting Provincial Mining Director until a substantive appointment is made.
An official within the Ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the developments, describing the reshuffle as “a necessary realignment to maintain stability and continuity across key mining provinces.”
The Ministry’s latest changes aim to ensure seamless leadership and sustained progress within the mining sector across the affected provinces.
