Zambian information minister sacked in mini-reshuffle

Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has sacked his Information Minister Chushi Kasanda in a mini-cabinet reshuffle announced on Monday.

Ms Kasanda was replaced with Cornelius Mweetwa, the ruling United Party for National Development spokesperson and Southern Province minister.

President Hichilema also named Ron Mwambwa as the country's auditor general.

A statement from the presidency said the changes reflected the president's "ongoing efforts to enhance governance, improve service delivery, and promote national development in Zambia".
