Mnangagwa's illegals

THE presidency has downplayed opposition charges that the new cabinet announced Thursday breached the country's constitution, saying the "illegality" would be regularised before the new team is sworn into office.

Opposition alliance CODE immediately threatened to sue President Emmerson Mnangagwa after he named more ministers from outside Parliament that the five allowed under the constitution.
