Harare - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe
has fired Emmerson Mnangagwa as vice president, Information
Minister Simon Khaya Moyo said on Monday, removing one of the
favourites to succeed the 93-year-old leader.
Mnangagwa, a 75-year-old former intelligence chief, has been
heavily-criticised by supporters of Mugabe's wife, Grace, who
has also been touted as a potential successor to her husband.
Moyo said Mnangagwa had exhibited traits of disloyalty,
disrespect and deceitfulness.
