Mnangagwa Retires ZRP Commissioner General Godwin Matanga, Mutamba To Take Over

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has retired Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Commissioner General Tandabantu Godwin Matanga, effective December 31, 2024.

The announcement was made in a statement issued by Martin Rushwaya, the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, on Friday, December 20.

Rushwaya also announced that Mnangagwa had appointed Deputy Commissioner General Stephen Mutamba as Matanga’s successor, with Mutamba set to assume the role of ZRP Commissioner General on January 1, 2025.

Matanga took over the position from Augustine Chihuri, who fled into exile after the November 2017 military coup. He has served during politically charged times.

Under Matanga’s leadership, numerous opposition activists and human rights defenders were arrested, often facing long periods of incarceration on charges such as convening illegal gatherings or inciting violence.

In recent years, armed robbery cases have surged, with incidents like the infamous Ecobank heist standing out. This daring robbery occurred in broad daylight on a busy street and was even captured on CCTV.

Meanwhile, in 2022, Mutamba was put under United States sanctions for his role in “undermining Zimbabwe’s democratic processes and institutions”. The US then said:

Over the past two years, Mutamba has taken actions that threaten and undermine legitimate political parties that oppose the policies of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) party. In 2020, Mutamba supported Zimbabwe security services’ use of pressure and intimidation on prominent opposition figures.

Also in 2020, Mutamba supported the uneven enforcement of a COVID-19-related curfew, encouraging security forces to limit opposition activities and did not allow for foreign national officials located in Zimbabwe to meet with Zimbabwean opposition parties or civil society groups.

In 2021, Mutamba advocated that vote tallies not be displayed outside polling locations and that international observers should not be allowed to monitor the 2023 elections.

I have had the opportunity to work with both Matanga and Mutamba before. Matanga was the best Commissioner General the ZRP has ever had. He was always at war with the corruption-stinking Chihuri because Chihuri was protecting his corrupt runners from Matanga. Matanga was just an upright officer who was liked by his upright subordinates. Such officers are most effective under a democratic environment. Please don't blame Matanga for what ED has done to every government department. Stephen Mutamba is very competent. Unlike Matanga, Mutamba "Dust" follows the wind. As things stand in Zimbabwe right now under this regime, Mutamba can be Zimbabweans' worst nightmare. But this is not his nature. Given free reign, Mutamba can deliver. The darkest stain on him is that his hands are not clean.

Starting point is to push for consolidated data for state security where information from the registrar general ,Econet, Netone, Telecel, IP, IMEI is synchronized with automated fingerprint, IP, IMEI and Vehicle identification system which should be managed by the data and forensics department at CID Headquarters. CVR should be pushed to update their system and feed all the data to the police. When all that is in place all Municipalities should put CCTVs along all the streets and they should be able to read or scan all the vehicles and detect traffic violations which will be monitored by AI national security data center. The national security data center is responsible for identifying all persons through fingerprints, iris recognition or biometrics. All vehicles should be linked to their current owners so that in the event of traffic law violations fines will be automatically debited from the bank account, Ecocash or any mobile money wallet of the perpetrators. This should be done without any interference of human beings whose duty will be just to monitor the AI system on the national security data center. As I write this the data scientists are almost 75% through on bringing it to fruition. What is left is to put up CCTVs, Scans and biometric readers in all towns and cities. The satellites are already floating in space. You will not renew your vehicle licence before you pay all your traffic tickets if there was no bank account linked to your vehicle. Banks will not open the doors if your biometric data is not reckognised on the national security data center. Time for bank robberies is up.

all that can't be done here..Zim..an AI data centre requires a constant supply of electricity..but here in Zim that's a big disappointment,as we all know the worsening power crunch..firstly build the foundation made up of the basics like electricity to be able to think of that

Matanga ais the worst Commissioner of all time. He failed to supply pass out uniforms for junior officers, neglected Police welfare. No voice, nothing. i wonder what is wrong with the people from Matebele. All the vp's Mugabe appointed were as useless as this Commissioner General from that side, including the **** holic old Kembo. Only Father Zimbabwe was true patriotic from that side. Rest in Peace Ubaba Nkomo

You don't understand security issues bro. Just keep quiet when not conversant with these issues. Unotaura zvaunenge waudzwa. Being at the helm of the organization doesn't mean kuti ndiwe uchatengera mapurisa mauniforms.......

@ntuntunene stop spoiling the wind that we all breathe. Matanga is Samanyika from Manicaland. Why are you evicting him to Bulawayo?

Farewell comrade, makashanda zvakanaka. You just made sure that things remained undisturbed or natural. You avoided making drastic changes to the organization, you allowed it to flow naturally. I guess it is now time for CDE Mutamba to make the necessary changes that will take the organization to the next level. Wish you could also retire some of the old horses at the helm of stations, districts, provinces and pghq. It will give you a frictionless takeover from CDE Matanga.
