Mugabe still to announce Cabinet

There was high anticipation that President Mugabe would announce his new Cabinet at the weekend but Zimbabweans were disappointed when he failed to do so raising speculation that he is struggling to come up with an acceptable team.

A month after President Mugabe won the July 31 disputed polls, government operations are virtually at a standstill as the Zanu-PF leader is reportedly battling to come up with a Cabinet.

He is said to be coming with a team which caters for factions in his party, tribal considerations, loyalists and deadwood, some of whom have been ministers since 1980.
