By Terrence Mawawa| The Zimbabwe National Army is the most trusted institution in the new dispensation, a survey carried out by the Zimbabwe Council of Churches and its partners has claimed.

Presenting the research findings at a breakfast meeting held in Masvingo yesterday, a ZCC legal officer said the army was the most trusted institution in the new dispensation because of the role it played in removing former President Robert Mugabe from office.

Army officers marched in solidarity with the disgruntled people of Zimbabwe at the heigh of nationwide protests against Mugabe.

“According to the findings of our survey, the army is trusted by the majority of the people of Zimbabwe.

This has been attributed to the role played by soldiers during the country’ s peaceful transition,” said the ZCC legal officer.
