"Severe Punishments Will Always Be Applied For Any Deviation," Army Boss

A senior army officer, Chief of Staff Quartermaster Staff, Major-General Hlanganani Dube has said that indiscipline has no place in the army.

Dube was speaking during a Speech and Prize giving ceremony of Inter Formation and Unit Drill Competitions held at Headquarters 5 Brigade last Friday. He said:

Severe punishments will always be applied for any deviation from our set standards. The ZNA will always strive for the best in the aspect of discipline to maintain its reputation which is always envied by many in the region and beyond.

His remarks come amidst reports that there is an increase in the number of soldiers involved in organised crimes including armed robbery, torture and sexual abuse of civilians.
