The President and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa has promoted on retirement three Major Generals and one Air Vice Marshal to the ranks of Lieutenant General and Air Marshal respectively.

The promotions are in terms of Section 15(1) (b)(2) of the Defence Act chapter 11.02, as read with the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) policy on retirement. Conferring badges of ranks, Commander ZDF General Philip Valerio Sibanda urged the newly promoted officers to continue working hard and remain steadfast.
