Parents are reportedly hiring out their children to beggars handlers for a commission in Harare The Sunday Mail reports. The child beggars are reportedly transported by their handlers from areas around Harare like\u00a0Epworth<\/a>\u00a0and Hopley and assigned places to beg from where they beg the whole day and surrender takings to their masters and or handlers who will then pay their respective parents a commission.<\/p>\n

Vendors are reportedly the ones who are in the trade of hiring out their children as they can monitor them from a distance. They are reportedly charging ZWL$30 to $40 per child, and a child is reportedly given a target of ZW$100 per day.<\/p>\n

The publication spoke to a vendor who shed more light on the child beggars for hire scheme and said:<\/p>\n

The child is given a specific target per day. Their commission is given to the parents. In the event that they fail to reach the target, the outstanding figure is deducted from the parents\u2019 commission.<\/p>\n
