Kembo Dugish Campbell Muleya Mohadi (born 15 November 1949) is a Zimbabwean politician and Vice-President of Zimbabwe since 8 September 2023. He previously served in the same role from 28 December 2017 to 1 March 2021, when he resigned.[2][3] He briefly served as the Minister of Defence, Security and War Veterans in 2017. Previously he was Minister of State for National Security in the President's Office from 2015 to 2017 and Minister of Home Affairs from 2002 to 2015.[4]
Mohadi was reappointed as second secretary of ZANU–PF at the party's elective congress on 29 October 2022 by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.[5][6]
Following the swearing in of the Morgan Tsvangirai-led unity government in February 2009, Mohadi shared the Home Affairs ministry with Giles Mutsekwa of the MDC-T, as stipulated by the SADC arbitration in late 2008. After Mugabe won re-election in July 2013, Mohadi was re-appointed as sole Minister of Home Affairs on 10 September 2013.[12]
President Mugabe moved Mohadi to the post of Minister of National Security on 6 July 2015.[13] On 30 November 2017 he was appointed Minister of Defence, Security and War Veterans by Mugabe's successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa.[14]
He was appointed as the vice-president of the ruling ZANU–PF party on 23 December 2017 and sworn in as Second Vice-President of Zimbabwe on 28 December 2017.[15][16][17] Acting chief secretary to the President and Cabinet Justin Mupamhanga issued a statement on the following day that Mohadi had been appointed in charge of the National Peace and Reconciliation portfolio.[14]
Following the leaking of alleged audio recordings, which circulated on social media, of Mohadi inviting married and single women to his office and hotels for sexual favours in February 2021, he tendered his resignation as Vice President on 1 March.[3][20] Prior to this, he had released a statement denying the allegations, labelling the whole ordeal as a character assassination and that he was a "victim of political machinations" and "voice cloning".[21]
Mohadi was reappointed as second secretary of ZANU–PF at the party's elective congress on 29 October 2022 by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who called him a "naughty but honest person."[5][6]
