In a move that has Zimbabweans talking, the country’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reversed a decision made by his deputy Constantino Chiwenga.
Mnangagwa cut the retirement age from 70 to 65 effectively reversing Chiwenga’s decision made in 2018.
In August 2018, Chiwenga, who then doubled as Defence and War Veterans Affairs minister, extended soldiers’ retirement age from 65 to 70 after amending section 113(2)(a) of the Defence Act Chapter 11:02.
According to circular number 13 of 2020 dated August 31, 2020 addressed to all heads of government departments including the Defence Ministry, the latest amendment is meant to harmonise the retirement criteria for all civil servants. – savvananews
