Olivia Muchena has been in government for more than a decade and has served in one capacity or another. A strong proponent of land reform, Muchena is still considered by the United States as a moderate behind Vice-President Joice Mujuru. It was reportedly because of Mujuru’s backing that she was elected chair of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front. There are 14 cables on her. Here they are:
14-Mai Mujuru stronger than Mnangagwa
13-Who is who in the Parliamentary Select Committee?
12-Thugs on the payroll and in the classroom
11-Mugabe outmanoeuvred MDC to increase size of cabinet
10-Lock-step loyalty key for appointment by Mugabe
9-Zimbabweans still have confidence in the judicial system
8-Cabinet reshuffle showed power of hardliners and military
6-Muchena appointed Minister of Science and Technology
5-Muchena said what was happening in Zimbabwe will take place in South Africa
4-Muchena once tipped to become Minister of Youth
3-Muchena, Chombo united on the land issue
2-Muchena said come hell or high water there is no reversing land issue
