Mangwana was appointed as the new secretary for Information by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Mangwana took over from long-serving George Charamba who was last month elevated to the shadowy position of Deputy Secretary to the President and Cabinet in charge of Presidential Communications.
Mangwana promised to use his position to help with Mnangagwa's efforts to return Zimbabwe to the international fold after years of isolationist policies by Mugabe that turned the country into a pariah.
"The Ministry of Information is a media enabler and not it's adversary. Working with Hon Minister (Monica) Mutsvangwa and her Deputy Minister Hon (Energy) Mutodi we will build alliances as we frame the national narratives.
"Everyone has a role in selling the correct brand of the Zimbabwe we have, the Zimbabwe we want and the Zimbabwe which will meet our national aspirations."
Mangwana hold several qualifications which include nursing, accounting, corporate governance, law and media.
He worked as Zanu-PF's face and voice in the UK and shot to prominence through writings in the State media where he remains a columnist.
He was also heavily involved in sprucing up the image of the military coup that brought Mugabe's rule to a dramatic end in November last year and was a co-founder and former administrator of Mnangagwa's social media platforms.
Mangwana was also involved in Zanu-PF's campaign as part of the ruling party's media team.

She said as part of their ministerial mandate, they were obliged to develop a diverse and plural media industry for Zimbabwe.
Minister Mutsvangwa said "Zimbabwe is open for media business. We are opening the media space and the airwaves for Zimbabwe's plural views to find channels of outlet. The ministry is going to have an open door policy. As long as your ideas add value to the national interest, everyone will be seen and be heard."
She said every Zimbabwean wanted the information industry to develop standards that make output trusted and genuine.
"We hope these high standards of quality will be sustained."
Mutsvangwa is deputised by Energy Mutodi.
