Zimbabwe's Mugabe Calls Information Minister 'devil Incarnate'

Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe on Friday branded his information minister a "devil incarnate", accusing him of appointing editors of state-owned newspapers who were sympathetic to the opposition. Mugabe said Jonathan Moyo, appointed information minister last year, was using the government-controlled newspapers to sow divisions. Moyo was a strong critic of Mugabe's rule while lecturing at the University of Zimbabwe before his first appointment as information minister in 2002. He was fired from the post by Mugabe in 2005 for standing as an independent candidate in parliamentary elections that year.??
