Zimbabwe president Emmerson Mnangagwa has implored State security agents to remain loyal and guard against being misled by unruly elements bent on disrupting the country’s peace.
While addressing graduates at a Joint Operations Command and Staff course graduation ceremony at the Zimbabwe Staff College, president Mnangagwa said it was important for the armed forces to always stick to their sworn pledge to safeguard the nation.
This comes amid reports that morale in the security services is at its lowest due to low budgetary support which has led some to engage in criminal activities.
President Mnangagwa also said discipline within the security services was of paramount importance amid growing cases of trans-national armed conflicts in Africa and inter-nationalisation of ‘intra-State conflicts’ bringing to the fore the need to share lessons with regards peace building, conflict prevention, management and resolution in the sub-region and the continent as a whole.
