The newspaper said the ministers resolved to snub the cabinet meeting at a party caucus meeting Monday.
A joint sitting of the Senate and National Assembly to impeach Mugabe is set to be held at Harare International Conference Center in the capital Tuesday afternoon as it can accommodate all legislators than the current parliament building which is small, according to the newspaper.
Mugabe's impeachment comes after he missed the party deadline to resign by Monday noon following military takeover of government and street protests Saturday by Zimbabweans calling on him to resign.
