Cabinet reshuffle

Christian Porter will no longer be attorney general but will remain in cabinet in a new portfolio.

Mr Porter has strongly rejected an allegation that he raped a girl in 1988 when he was 17.

Mr Morrison promoted several female lawmakers as part of a broader cabinet reshuffle on Monday.

The prime minister has faced intense pressure in recent weeks to respond to a series of rape, misconduct and sexism allegations which have rocked Australian politics.

Critics said the original line-up showed Mr Mnangagwa had no plans to bring real change to the country despite hailing a "new democracy".

The education and labour ministers have now been replaced, ostensibly to comply with a constitutional provision.

But military chiefs remain in charge of the foreign affairs and land portfolios.

Ten days ago Mr Mnangagwa returned from exile following the military coup against Robert Mugabe, promising to serve all citizens equally.

RNZI reports the Minister of Police Sala Fata Pinati has been given the portfolios of Tourism and Public Trust while his Prisons portfolio has been transferred to the Minister of Revenue, Tialavea Tionisio Hunt.

The Minister of Public Enterprises, Lautafi Fio Selafi Purcell on the other hand has lost the Tourism portfolio but maintained the portfolio of Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labour.

In his announcement of the reshuffle on Wednesday, Prime Minister Tuilaepa did not give any explanation for making the changes.
