Harare - The editor of Zimbabwe's major newspaper, the Herald, has been replaced by President Robert Mugabe's nephew after editorials critical of the government. The Herald's long-serving editor, Mr Tommy Sithole, was replaced by Mr Charles Chikerema after two editorials criticised the government's handling of last month's food riots in which six people were killed in Harare and Chitungwiza.
