New Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected to form a new cabinet, with all eyes on whether he breaks with the past and names an inclusive government or selects old guard figures from Robert Mugabe's era. In a tentative sign that he might do things differently, Mnangagwa has cut the budget for the Zanu-PF special congress to be held in December - but then appointed old faces as acting finance minister and foreign affairs minister.
