Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday fired a minister over alleged misconduct.

Chasi was fired according to law as his conduct of government business had become incompatible with the president’s expectations, Sibanda said.
He becomes the third fired minister since the new government took office in 2018, after ex-tourism minister Prisca Mupfumira in August 2019 and ex-health minister Obadiah Moyo in July this year.
