The Commissioner General of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), Tandabantu Godwin Matanga, has reassigned three senior police officers.
ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi announced the changes in a statement issued this Thursday.
The statement reads:
The Commissioner General of Police, Tandabantu Godwin Matanga has effected the transfer of some senior officers in the Zimbabwe Republic Police in order to ensure that the Police Service achieves its constitutional role of providing quality services to the public in line with the country’s Vision 2030.
Commissioner Makodza Erasmus is now the Chief Staff Officer (Human Resources,)
Commissioner Nyabadza Patson is now the Officer Commanding Police (Bulawayo Province,)
Commissioner Patton Mbangwa has been moved to Police General Headquarters.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates its commitment to ensuring that the malady of crime is tackled without fear or favour in the country.
In May 2020, ZRP transferred several officers between the rank of inspector and commissioner, in a move meant to improve efficiency in the police service.
The initiative is the adoption of a new structure, which strives to win back public confidence through enhancing efficiency and effectiveness, while eliminating duplication of roles and redundancy in the ZRP.
