Zimbabwe appoints former army chief as Minister of Sport and Culture amid political shifts.

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed retired army commander Lieutenant General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe as the new Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts, and Culture. This follows Kirsty Coventry's resignation after becoming the president of the International Olympic Committee. Sanyatwe's transition from military to civilian leadership is seen as part of Mnangagwa's efforts to manage internal political tensions and potential uprisings within his party.
