Energy and Power Development Minister Advocate Fortune Chasi was fired on Friday afternoon and replaced by little known Soda Zhamu.

It looks like Chasi knew way in advance that he was going to be fired. On the second of August, Chasi twittered that his days were numbered :

I am so sorry about this. After the assurances I got in June I thought all was well. Now this ? Hope I can solve it before I’m fired . Life is hard handiti?
