After yesterday’s appointments and reassignments, the Zimbabwean cabinet now has 25 ministers and 18 deputies. These are further augmented by 10 provincial ministers ( we all thought since the posts of governors were abolished this would lead to a reduced cabinet, well we were wrong).

This means our bloated government just grew by 6 new members. This includes a whole new Ministry created by the President. The Ministry of National Housing and Social Amenities with Minister Daniel Gwarwe in charge deputised by Yeukai Simbanegavi.

With the government busy sjamboking the general populace with austerity measures this is just disappointing. Given past records don’t for a second thing that the new cabinet will suddenly come to life. They just added new pigs to the trough.
