Sources told ZimEye, four other senior retired soldiers have been removed.

Reasons of removal are that the soldiers are against the Mnangagwa Presidency extension agenda.

Investigations suggest that the moves are part of an operation to test the capacities of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to revolt against him.
