Mnangagwa to dump old ministers

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to retire long-serving Cabinet ministers and deploy them at Zanu-PF headquarters, as he comes under growing pressure to dump the deadwood that worked for decades with ousted former leader Robert Mugabe.
At the same time, the ruling party also plans to adopt a modus operandi which gives it more power than the government-akin to the Chinese model.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions secretary general Japhet Moyo has said he is very disheartening to note that what has been billed as a new dispensation in Zimbabwe is just to have a reshuffle of former President Robert Mugabe's cabinet minus Mugabe himself and few individuals (although no one misses either).

"Besides these administrative changes, Zimbabweans are still holed up in poverty with no end in sight for improvement in their lives. Unemployment, informalisation, autocratic rule, exclusionary policies, empty rhetoric, deceit remains part of our daily experiences nine months after the fall of Robert Mugabe. The country is just in a circle of despair," he said.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has since reverted to Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi as Vice presidents much to the disappointment of many who think the two have nothing to offer.
