New, reduced cabinet expected

    JOHANNESBURG

    President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is expected to announce a reduced cabinet of about 20 ministers, down from the present 52, in a bid to woo foreign investors and donor support, the ‘Financial Gazette’ reported on Thursday.

    The independent weekly newspaper quoted “authoritative sources” as saying the new cabinet was expected to bring in new faces from the private sector in the key ministries of finance, industry and commerce, as well as some newly-elected parliamentarians from his governing ZANU-PF party.
