“The Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) have stood the test of time and proved to be a true force for the nation,” said Mugabe in a speech broadcast on national television from Gwanzura Stadium on the occasion of the country’s annual Armed Forces Day.

Among the surviving security forces conferred with the Grand Officer of the Zimbabwe Order of Merit were Paradzai Zimondi, the Commissioner of the Zimbabwe Prison Service, who declared before the March 29 presidential elections that he would resign from his position if veteran MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the election.
