The Zimbabwe Defence Forces have always viewed scribes from the independent media with suspicion, accusing them of being anti-Mugabe and Zanu (PF).
During his speech at the opening Mugabe predictably accused the Western powers of using ‘illegal economic sanctions and deliberate manipulation of media resources as tools against weaker states like Zimbabwe in attempts to reinstate the colonial status quo’.
“We in Zimbabwe have received first-hand experience of the West’s hate-filled tactics, dating back to the year 2000,” he said.
The Defence College was built by the Chinese who have insisted on being from diamond revenues. It is reserved for officers with the rank of colonel or group captain in the security services. All SADC countries and others that Zanu (PF) feels are ‘friendly’ will be invited to each course.
