PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has promoted 56 senior police
officers with three top cops, among them, the Officer Commanding Bulawayo

the rank of Deputy Commissioner General.
The promotions are with effect from December 7. The others
who were promoted to the rank of Deputy Commissioner General include Senior
