The Zimbabwe Defence Forces raised red flags yesterday about people wearing their uniforms illegally and posting personal views on social media platforms. These posts often contain individual thoughts about politics and money matters from regular citizens and ex-military personnel. Military leaders want everyone to know these messages never represent official military positions. The ZDF reminded the public they communicate through specific official channels only, not through any social media websites.
Military leaders pointed out that it remains illegal for anyone to wear their uniforms without permission. According to Defense Act laws, wearing military clothes when you're not an active member breaks Zimbabwe's rules completely. The law states that anyone caught using military decorations or similar items faces criminal charges. These restrictions apply to anything closely resembling official military gear that might confuse others.
The ZDF asked all Zimbabweans to avoid purchasing or putting on any military-style clothing items. They requested everyone report people seen wearing these uniforms outside military bases and authorized locations. This helps catch criminals who pretend to serve in the armed forces when committing illegal acts. The military needs public assistance identifying these uniform violations across the country.
People wanting to report suspicious uniform use can reach authorities at several phone numbers. Cell phone users should call 0712842318 or 0716801064 with information. Those using landlines can dial (0242) 252094 or (0242) 791129 instead. The military created these reporting options specifically for citizens who spot people misusing ZDF attire or falsely claiming military connections.
