26 Aug 2013 at 05:39hrs | Views
President Mugabe is expected to announce a new Cabinet anytime now tasked with rescuing Zimbabwe's faltering economy which had shown signs of improvement during the transitional government.
The veteran Zanu-PF leader now has the tough task of choosing a team of ministers expected to come with policies that build on gains recorded during the inclusive government as well as reducing the country's debt.
While the country is anxious to know the new team, Mugabe has a serious headache of how to balance ethnic, gender and blending experience with young turks who won the July 31 polls.
The octogenarian leader will also have to trim his Cabinet from the bloated 42 which was caused by the expanded lists of his party and the two MDC formations which wanted to reward officials with Cabinet posts.
