Former cabinet ministers, mostly from the MDC-T, have allegedly fallen on hard times amid reports that they have started vacating government-rented houses which they used as their official residences.
Treasury has stopped paying rentals for former government officials who were living in rented houses in the capital.
Most of the affected former ministers and their deputies come from outside Harare and had taken up government accommodation in the capital.
The officials also had other benefits such as housemaids, personal aides and drivers withdrawn as were other perks like school fees.
Some of the ex-ministers are now begging for "laughable" amounts of money.
