Good evening, fellow Zimbabweans,

Our security chiefs play a crucial role in defending Zimbabwe’s territorial integrity and upholding our Constitution. They deserve our respect and recognition for their unwavering dedication to the nation.

However, the appointment and reassignment of our security leadership must be guided by loyalty to the people of Zimbabwe—not to individuals or political interests. Sudden changes in the command structure risk weakening our national security framework and may erode public trust and institutional stability.

Our security services must remain apolitical and prioritize the interests of Zimbabwe above all else. Only then will they maintain the credibility and respect of the citizens they serve.

We must treat our security chiefs with dignity, acknowledging their vital role in maintaining peace and protecting the freedoms we enjoy today. Their commitment has been central to the stability of our country.

To safeguard the integrity of our security institutions, we must insulate them from political manipulation. This will allow them to execute their duties professionally, without fear or favor.

In the end, our security chiefs deserve nothing less than respect, recognition, and dignified treatment for their selfless service to Zimbabwe.
