Zim Vice President, 8 ministers sacked─── 05:27 Wed, 10 Dec 2014
Harare - Beleaguered Vice President Joice Mujuru's last-minute appeal to Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has been ignored and she has been sacked, it was confirmed on Tuesday.
The 59-year-old army commander's widow "has been relieved of her duties" along with eight ministers loyal to her in what was a widely anticipated though unprecedented move, according to the country's Herald online.
Mugabe hinted at the congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party on Saturday that he would fire Mujuru, saying those who boycotted the event had already "said goodbye".
It was not yet clear if Mujuru had been expelled from Zanu-PF.
