The Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces has ordered couples who are both serving members in the military to decide on who should leave the service.
The move is part of the ZDF Fratenisation Policy and has been necessitated by the need to instil discipline within the army. In a circular dated January 18, 2019, General Sibanda said:
The policy is with effect from February 1, 2019. Those who were already married prior to the promulgation of this policy are given six months from February 1, 2019, to comply with the requirement, failure of which action will be taken in terms of the policy.
Thus, they should decide on who should leave the organisation between each pair and names of those leaving the organisation as decided by each pair should be submitted to this headquarters by March 31, 2019.
Failure to advise this headquarters by March 31, 2019, on (who) should leave the organisation between each pair, (the) army will assume that both partners have decided to leave and will proceed likewise to discharge both.
Take note that the above deadlines only apply to those who were already in marriages prior to the promulgation of this policy. Otherwise, those who will breach the policy after its promulgation will be discharged forthwith according to the policy.
Lol, this stops fraternization with the lower ranks, but at least they have not banned fcukerization.
