President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has sacked his vice-president, Joice Mujuru, after accusing her of plotting to kill him.
He also dismissed seven other ministers allegedly involved in the plot, an official statement said.
Mrs Mujuru, once seen as a future possible leader, has denied plotting against the president.
State media and Mr Mugabe's wife, Grace, have conducted a campaign against her for months.
