Zimbabwe has gazetted ten new senators, bringing fresh names into the country’s upper legislative chamber.
The announcement was shared by Information Secretary Nick Mangwana on social media.
Mangwana listed the ten individuals who have now been gazetted as senators.
The development adds several prominent figures to Zimbabwe’s Senate as the country’s legislative business continues.
The appointments include politicians, business figures and individuals with experience in public affairs.
Their gazetting formally places their names into the country’s parliamentary framework.
The latest development is expected to attract attention across Zimbabwe’s political landscape.
The newly gazetted senators are Jabulani Sibanda, Mary Mliswa and Nokuthula Matsikenyere.
They are joined by Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Godwills Masimirembwa and Lucy Chitaka.
Gibson Mashingaidze, Makhosini Hlongwane, Brilliant Dube and Irene Mutumbwa complete the list.
Several names on the list have previously featured prominently in Zimbabwean political and public affairs.
Their arrival could therefore bring different experiences and perspectives to Senate proceedings.
The Senate plays an important role within Zimbabwe’s Parliament alongside the National Assembly.
It considers legislation and provides representation for different groups within the country’s constitutional framework.

The gazetting of the ten senators marks an important development for Zimbabwe’s upper chamber.
However, their individual roles will become clearer as parliamentary business progresses.
The new senators will face expectations to contribute meaningfully to national debates.
They will also be expected to participate in legislative discussions affecting Zimbabweans.
Meanwhile, the announcement has already generated interest among political observers and members of the public.
Attention will now turn towards their parliamentary participation and the issues they will champion.
For some appointees, the move represents another chapter in their public careers.
For others, it provides an opportunity to gain a stronger platform within Zimbabwe’s legislative system.
As the new senators settle into their positions, their contributions will likely attract increasing scrutiny.
Their performance could ultimately shape how Zimbabweans view this latest addition to the Senate.
