Zanu-PF list of fired ministers

President Robert Mugabe fired his deputy Joice Mujuru and 8 ministers, days after she lost her post in the ruling party, officials said.

Mugabe sacked Mujuru on Tuesday.

The sources, who declined to be named because they are not authorised to speak to the news media, said Mujuru had received her dismissal letter on Monday night after weeks of accusations that she had led a "treacherous cabal" to try to unseat Mugabe.

Earlier on Mugabe fired Energy minister Dzikamai Mavhaire and his deputy Munacho Mutezo who are both allies of Mujuru.

This came as Mugabe is expected to reshuffle the Cabinet and fire eight ministers (names to follow) who failed to secure central committee positions in the party ahead of congress last week.

Those fired include Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa who was also party secretary for administration, Labour minister Nicholas Goche, Indigenisation minister Francis Nhema, Higher and Tertiary Education minister Olivia Muchena, ICT minister Webster Shamu (Zanu-PF political Commissar) and Mahonaland East Provincial Affairs minister Simbaneuta Mudarikwa.
