6 Army Recruits Died During Eight-month Training

Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) Commander Lieutenant General David Sigauke said six army recruits died during an eight-month training programme that started in July last year and ended on Tuesday, 15 March 2022.

Lieutenant General Sigauke revealed this in his address during a pass-out parade by 2 442 soldiers at the Imbizo Training Depot in Bulawayo. He said:

The training commenced on July 1, 2021, with a total of 2 501 recruits comprising of 2 242 males and 259 females drawn from all our provinces.

Today a total of 2 442 comprising 2 190 males and 252 females are graduating. On a sad note, we lost six recruits who passed on during the time of our training and we say may their souls rest in eternal peace.

A total of 59 recruits failed to make the grade due to various reasons and today they are not in this parade.
