President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has dismissed Dr Sithembiso G. G. Nyoni from her position as Minister of Environment, Climate, and Wildlife with immediate effect.
The decision, made under Section 340(1)(f) and Section 108(1)(a) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, was announced yesterday without an official explanation.
The President’s Office has yet to name her replacement.
Dr. Nyoni, a veteran politician and senior member of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) was appointed to the ministry in September 2023. She previously served as Minister of Women’s Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development.
A long-serving public official, she has been in government since 1995 and has represented Nkayi North in Parliament since 2008. She is also the founder of the Organisation of Rural Associations for Progress (ORAP), a development initiative supporting rural communities.
