The president of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, appointed a new army chief before the protests planned Monday, called by a group of war veterans who wish to force the president to resign.
The former mayor, Emmanuel Matutu, takes over immediate effect.
President Mnangagwa has faced calls from his former supporters to stop citing poor management and corruption.
Earlier this week, Mnangagwa abruptly withdrew his Army Chief, Lieutenant General Anselm Sanyatwe, who appointed him Sports, Minister of Arts and Culture.
Due to her ruthless reputation, Emmerson Mnangagwa Goes for the nickname “El Crocodile”.
He became president in 2017 after a coup against the leader of a long time Robert Mugabe, and is currently fulfilling his second and final term, which expires in 2028.
The problems began to prepare during the manifestations of the Zanu-PF ruling party last year after informing that Mnangagwa wanted to remain in office.
Despite a recent guarantee of Mnangagwa that he intended to resign in three years, many remain unvolved.
The criticism of his leadership within his party and accusations that he intends to hold on to power evoked memories of the period prior to the coup that spilled Mugabe.
While it is not clear how much public support the veterans have for their planned protests, the Security Minister warned the Zimbabuenses not to participate in the demonstrations.
Police have announced a four -day prohibition around the capital in the transport of weapons or any instrument that can be used to cause violence.
