All but one of Zimbabwe's ministers from the former opposition has accepted an official Mercedes Benz.
When they were in opposition MDC politicians condemned the profligacy of Mr Mugabe’s Mercedes Benz-mobilised Zanu(PF) party.
Last September, when the agreement to form a power-sharing Government was signed, senior MDC figures made an informal decision never to accept an official Mercedes.
But it has now emerged that all but one of the 20 new ministers, including Morgan Tsvangirai and his two deputy prime ministers, is now making use of a $50,000 E280 model.

Bonus question: why did one minister refuse? Read the rest.
