Jane Mlambo|Opposition legislators have boycotted the national budget presentation by the minister of finance and economic development Professor Mthuli Ncube currently underway in parliament.

Unlike the last time when they walked out on President Emmerson Mnangagwa, this time they did not bother the drama but chose to completely stay away.

The seats usually occupied by opposition legislators were filled by Zanu PF MPs and other ministers including sports minister Kirsty Coventry.

In his budget presentation, Professor Ncube said the government will target a budget of not more than one percent while continuing to compensate former white farmers who were evicted in 2000.
