The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has reportedly sacked his 59-year-old Vice President, Joice Mujuru, alongside eight other ministers.
An official, who disclosed this to newsmen on December 9, 2014, Tuesday, said the deputy was fired days after she lost her post in the ruling party.
The official said the President relieved her of the position weeks after she was accused of a ‘treacherous cabal’ trying to oust Mugabe.
Reuters news agency gathered that the ousted officials received the appropriate letters on Monday night.
It was gathered that the sack was confirmed by two government sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to speak with the newsmen.
According to Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa, who reported from the capital Harare, the President claimed to have evidence that Mujuru met with US officials, and in the meeting they plotted a plan to try and remove him from office.
