A tribute to our defence forces

ZIMBABWE today celebrates the Defence Forces Day as it pays tribute to the men and women in uniform whose role is to protect the country, its people, national security and interests as well as territorial integrity.

The Constitution states that the defence forces consist of an army, an air force and any other services that may be established under an Act of Parliament.

It is no mean feat for the men and women in uniform whose daily bread is to ensure there is peace in the country, its borders are secure and there is no threat to the republic.
