*in-case-you-missed-this-news* _On the fast lane to 2030 by Maxwell Haitengeswinyika Teedzai_ *A New Chapter for Mashonaland East: Hon Itayi Ndudzo Takes the Helm* | Thurs Feb 20, 2025 In a moment that heralds fresh, youthful leadership and renewed commitment, HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa yesterday morning, swore in Hon Itayi Ndudzo as the Minister of State in charge of Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Mashonaland East Province. This appointment comes at a crucial time as the Nation seeks to elevate the aspirations and interests of its people. President Mnangagwa's recent call to Cabinet Ministers against complacency resounds powerfully. He has since urged them to prioritize the needs of Zimbabweans above all else, a reminder that true leadership is rooted in service. Hon Ndudzo steps into this role with the weight of expectation, tasked with not only continuing the work of his predecessors but with innovating and inspiring progress for the people of Mashonaland East. Last year, Hon Owen Mudha Ncube, the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Midlands Province received the highest order of the Ministerial High Performance Presidential accolade from President Mnangagwa. His dedication to people-oriented leadership has left a lasting legacy, particularly in empowering journalists in the Midlands Province. Under his stewardship, the Midlands has thrived as a beacon of development communication, effectively engaging the Nation with the ongoing EDWORKS modernization and industrialization drive. As we move forward, let us rally behind our Cabinet Ministers and also that the Minister will reciprocate the honor they receive from the people by emulating President Mnangagwa’s servant Leadership and listening ear, in order ensuring that the spirit of innovation and progress continues to flourish throughout the Great Republic of Zimbabwe. Together, we can build a future that honors our past while forging ahead with determination and unity. #edworks #competentleadership #mashonalandeast #greatrepublicofzimbabwe #progress #nationaldevelopment #empowerment
