One Commando boss up for rations theft

The commander of One Commando regiment in Harare was arrested last week for allegedly stealing army rations valued at more than $500 000.

Zimbabwe National Army spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Alphios Makotore confirmed the arrest of Lieutenant-Colonel Enock Chivhima and said the matter was still before the courts.

Chivhima is the head of One Commando, the elite military wing of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and is the last line of defence in cases of insurgence or turmoil.
