Mnangagwa Promotes Army Boss Implicated in Post-Election Killings

Barely a week after President Emmerson Mnangagwa promised he would release a commission of inquiry report into August 1 killings, Presidential Guard Commander Brigadier-General Anselem Sanyatwe is now Major General. Sanyatwe is the man who commanded the military unit that allegedly shot unarmed protesters, killing at least six people.

Zimbabwe Defence Forces commander General Phillip Valerio Sibanda confers a new rank to Major General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe who was promoted from the rank of Brigadier General.
