HARARE – President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to reshuffle his Cabinet, firing underperforming ministers barely four months after their appointment, Information, Media and Broadcasting Services deputy minister Energy Mutodi has revealed.
This comes as Mnangagwa’s government is failing to stem the economic meltdown in the country, which has been characterised by
widespread shortages of basic commodities — especially fuel — and sky-rocketting prices, amid biting foreign currency shortages.
Posting on his Twitter handle, Mutodi said his boss will reshuffle his Cabinet to stop the current economic crisis.
“Cabinet reshuffle: After all what has happened, it’s now clear that some ministries are being messed up and president Mnangagwa has to take action. A reshuffle is coming and those messing up your days are numbered,” Mutodi wrote.
Mnangagwa’s government seems to be running out of solutions for the economic crisis that has gripped the country, which has continued despite
the country holding relatively peaceful elections on July 30 and especially worsened with the
introduction of the two percent transactional tax by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube.Daily News
