President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reversed the appointment of John Paradza and Nokuthula Matsikenyere into his new cabinet after realising he had exceeded the number of non-constituency ministers he can appoint.
According to the Constitution, the President may appoint up to seven Ministers and Deputy Ministers from outside Parliament “chosen for their professional skills and competence”.
Paradza had been appointed Deputy Minister of Environment and Matsikenyere had been made Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution in Manicaland.
