The triumphant Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) is not rushing to withdraw all its forces from the streets in the wake of isolated acts of vengeance targeting allies of former president Robert Mugabe even as the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) assumes its full responsibilities.
In a joint statement issued yesterday, the two security arms of government disclosed that while the ZRP has now resumed its duties after being inactive for nearly two weeks, it will be shadowed by the military.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Republic Police has now resumed its duties as required by the Constitution following the inauguration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa last week.
President Mnangagwa was appointed President following "Operation Restore Legacy" that was launched by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces to weed out corrupt elements that were causing social and political instability in the country.
In a joint statement by the ZDF and other security services, ZRP spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba said the appointment of the President Mnangagwa had set a new trajectory for the country.
