Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika has sacked his 42-member cabinet.
Mutharika has since taken over all portfolios weeks after deadly anti-government riots killed 19 people.
No reason was given for the sacking of the cabinet which Mutharika appointed in 2009 soon after his re-election.
Mutharika is under fire over chronic fuel and foreign exchange shortages and is also accused of infringing democratic freedoms.
