Robert Gabriel Mugabe School of Intelligence

The Robert Gabriel Mugabe School of Intelligence (RGMSI) is an associate of the Bindura University of Science Education.

History

The Robert Gabriel Mugabe School of Intelligence (RGMSI) was named after Zimbabwe's former President Robert Mugabe. In October 2007, President Mugabe launched the intelligence academy named after him and said it would produce officers able to counter growing threats from Western powers.

Mugabe was quoted as having said:

"With the current unjustified demonization of Zimbabwe by Western powers, the role of intelligence in shaping foreign, security and economic policies become even more critical. The important role of defending our country cannot be left to mediocre officers incapable of comprehending and analytically evaluating the operational environment to ensure that the sovereignty of our state is not only preserved, but enhanced."
