Zimbabwe National Army
Discover the primary areas where the Zimbabwe National Army serves and protects our communities beyond the battlefield.
Explore the wide range of initiatives and daily operations undertaken by the Zimbabwe National Army to support, protect, and empower the nation.
The Zimbabwe National Army spearheads comprehensive demining operations to reclaim safe land for our citizens...
"At independence in 1980, Zimbabwe inherited eight distinct minefields laid along borders with Mozambique and Zambia. The existence of mines and remnants of war posed a direct threat to human and animal life, denying communities access to land."
"Pursuant to the country’s obligation to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), significant strides were made towards achieving a mine-free Zimbabwe. The initial mine hazardous area was over 310.65km²."
"Through efforts by the ZNA National Mine Clearance Unit supported by HALO Trust, NPA, MAG, and APOPO, only 10.093km² of the mined area remains to be cleared as at the end of October 2025."
Our soldiers actively participate in building schools, clinics, and bridges in marginalized areas...
"The ZNA provides assistance to needy communities through the construction and rehabilitation of public amenities, focusing mainly on community development initiatives."
"Assistance is provided for the construction of vital amenities such as schools, clinics, and roads, meant to help communities easily access their basic needs."
"The ZNA avails highly skilled artisans at zero cost to the communities, ensuring that essential infrastructure reaches those who need it most without financial burden."
Whenever natural disasters strike, the ZNA is among the first responders...
"The ZNA is an integral part of the Civil Protection organization. Within the Civil Protection framework, the ZNA’s primary responsibilities are search and rescue operations."
"Cyclone Idai, which hit Zimbabwe on 15 March 2019, left a trail of destruction. This catastrophic event put to test the ZNA’s capacity and capability to deal with natural disasters."
"The lessons learnt have significantly enhanced our preparedness. The ZNA stands ready to protect citizens, deliver aid, and restore critical infrastructure during times of crisis."
