President Edgar Lungu has shaken up the Zambia Air Force command appointing Major General David Muma as ZAF Commander and Kapotwe Chintu as deputy.
Army commander Eric Chimese has been sent on an indefinite leave.
The shakeup is the major overhaul conducted by President Lungu since taking over power.
Chimese has been ZAF commander from the rein of late President Michael Sata.
