Harare – The Zimbabwe military will conduct operational training drills in Harare’s high density and middle density suburbs this week, urging the public not to panic of heavy military presence, the army said Tuesday.
”The Zimbabwe National Army wishes to inform the general public that one of its units is conducting a field training exercise in Harare during period 03 to 06 June 2025. The training exercise will be carried out in the general areas of Glenview, Glen Norah, Kuwadzana, Dzivarasekwa, Mt Hampden and Westgate. The road to be used during the exercise is Solomon Mujuru formally known as Kirkman Road,” Colonel Hlengiwe Dube, Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) public relations director said.
”The exercise will be conducted during the day time and will not affect the general public’s daily routine. The public is therefore requested not to panic as the training exercise is part of routine training by ZNA units.”
Field army trainings in the capital Harare are not common in Zimbabwe.
However, the army has been conducting field trainings in outlying areas of the southern Africa country.
The ZNA did not give reasons why they specifically targeted to do the drills in the capital Harare.
