President Robert Mugabe is
playing his cards close to the chest as he assembles his long-awaited cabinet. Mugabe,
who has a huge range of candidates to choose from after Zanu PF secured a two
thirds majority in Parliament, had by last week not appointed a cabinet, almost
40 days after winning the July 31 elections.
Sources said Mugabe had indicated
that he was not in a hurry to announce his new cabinet as he was keen to do a
balancing act in order to please the different factions which helped him win
resoundingly against opposition MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai.
A senior government official said
apart from vice President Joice Mujuru, only his closest aides among them chief
secretary to the Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda were in the picture of how the new
cabinet was shaping up.
