Christopher Mutsvangwa was initially appointed as the Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services in Emmerson Mnangagwa's first cabinet. However, the appointment was reversed later on because Mnangagwa had appointed too many non-parliamentarians as ministers. The constitution only allows 5.
