Zimbabwe National Army Warns Harare Residents Ahead of Military Drills
The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) has announced it will be conducting routine field training exercises in parts of Harare from 3 to 6 June 2025. The military is urging residents not to be alarmed by increased army presence in suburbs such as Glen View, Glen Norah, Kuwadzana, Dzivarasekwa, Mt Hampden, and Westgate.
In a notice issued by Colonel Hlengiwe Dube, the army’s spokesperson, the ZNA clarified that this is not a security operation, but part of regular training to ensure that military personnel stay ready and alert.
“The Exercise will be conducted during 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,” the statement urged.
Most of the movement will be along Solomon Mujuru Road (formerly Kirkman Road). While residents are encouraged to continue with their normal activities, they are advised to remain cautious, especially when approaching military vehicles or convoys.
The announcement comes at a time when many Zimbabweans are sensitive to increased military visibility in towns and cities, but the army stressed this exercise was planned well in advance and is not a response to any threat or emergency.
Anyone with concerns or questions can contact the ZNA Public Relations Directorate at Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks in Harare.
