| Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe |
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe reshuffled his cabinet late Thursday and appointed replacements for eight ministers sacked in a purge targeting his former deputy's allies.
Newly-appointed Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa -- seen as a likely successor to the ageing leader -- retained his post as justice minister while co-vice president Phelekezela Mphoko was appointed to the newly-created national healing, peace and reconciliation portfolio.
