November 30, 2017: \u00a0New Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has dissolved the cabinet of his predecessor, Robert Mugabe, and temporarily handed over two key ministries to two former ministers under the former regime, the state-owned broadcaster ZBC<\/span> announced on Monday.<\/address>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The statement read \u201cThe time to form a new government and to \u201censure the continuity of essential ministries\u201d, Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed two leading members of the ruling party, Zanu-PF, to the positions of Finance and Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n

Patrick Chinamasa has been entrusted with Finance, a portfolio he has held until recently under the Mugabe regime. During a reshuffle in October, however, he was assigned to the Ministry of Cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

Simbarashe Mumbengegwi inherited the Foreign Affairs ministry. He was in charge of Economic Planning in the last Mugabe government, but had previously held the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs.\u00a0Patrick Chinamasa and Simbarashe Mumbengegwi find themselves assigned to the posts they lost in October as part of a reshuffle.<\/p>\n

President Mnangagwa, who has not yet appointed his new government, will convene a meeting with the directors of all ministries on Tuesday November 28.<\/p>\n

Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn in on Friday, three days after the resignation of President Robert Mugabe, who had been in power since Zimbabwe\u2019s independence in 1980.<\/p>\n

The 93-year-old was forced to step down after the military took control of the country in mid-November, under pressure from the population and members of the ruling Zanu-PF.<\/p>\n
