Zimbabwe's Mugabe creates cyber ministry in cabinet reshuffle

Zimbabwe's Mugabe creates cyber ministry in cabinet reshuffleBy MacDonald Dzirutwe HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe moved Patrick Chinamasa from the finance ministry on Monday to lead a new cyber security ministry that will focus on crimes on social media and other websites ahead of an election due next year. Chinamasa will be replaced at the treasury by Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo in a cabinet reshuffle that also diminished the role of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, seen as a potential successor to Mugabe. Chinamasa was appointed finance minister after Mugabe's re-election in 2013 and his move to head the new Ministry of Cyber Security, Threat Detection and Mitigation was unexpected.
