Information Minister Jonathan Moyo has been kicked out of cabinet because he is no longer a non-constituency Member of Parliament.
Moyo was appointed by President Robert Mugabe following the 2013 elections although he had lost his legislative seat, which he regained in the by-elections two weeks ago.
