The promotions are with effect from Tuesday this week. Of
those promoted, eight were promoted to the rank of commissioner from assistant
commissioner.
They are Commissioners Charles Musavengana, Bazibi Dube,
Steven Kazingizi, Ndofandaedza Jaboon, Richard Mahoya Basera, Winston Muzah,
Nelson Charumbira and Grace Sundirai Ndou.
Of the 1 089, 24 were promoted to the rank of assistant
commissioner, 48 to chief superintendent and 168 others were promoted to the
rank of superintendent. In addition, 232 were promoted to the rank of chief
inspector and 609 others to inspector.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the developments yesterday.
“The promotions are in line with the Government’s vision
2030 and the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s quest to improve service delivery to
Zimbabweans, he said. Vacancies had risen due to retirements and natural
causes.”
In January last year, the Police Service Commission
approved a new Zimbabwe Republic Police structure that abolishes the rank of
senior assistant commissioner and replaced it with that of Commissioner of
Police as the force continued to undergo major transformation.
The new rank of Commissioner of Police is different from
the rank of commissioner that existed in the previous structure.
The ZRP rank hierarchy under the new structure starts from
constable to sergeant, sergeant-major, assistant inspector, inspector, chief
inspector, superintendent, chief superintendent, assistant commissioner,
Commissioner of Police, Deputy Commissioner-General and then Commissioner-General.
In the new structure, senior assistant commissioners are
now called commissioners. Early last year, the ZRP said it was set to undergo
major transformation as it adopts a new structure and rebrands to win back
public confidence.
The ZRP was on a restructuring and rebranding exercise to
win back public confidence. Herald
