The appointments were announced in an extraordinary Government Gazette published on Wednesday.
Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Martin Rushwaya, confirmed the deployments, which were made under Section 204 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.
Ambassador Patrick Mutasa has been named Zimbabwe’s representative to Cuba.
Ambassador Lovemore Mazemo will serve in South Africa, while Ambassador Isaac Moyo has been posted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Ambassador David Hamadziripi will head the mission in the United States of America.
