Speaking at a passing out parade for 590 recruits at 53 Infantry Battalion in Kwekwe yesterday, Lt-Gen Sibanda said the recent military action that ushered in a new political dispensation was meant to weed out corrupt elements who had captured the State.
He said while Zim-bob-we had endured the impact of illegal sanctions imposed by the West and America, corruption had worsened the situation.

," said Lt-Gen Sibanda.
"These acts of indiscipline aimed at enriching individuals were causing a lot of social and economic problems in the country and the defence forces had to intervene in order to restore normality in the country," Lt-Gen Sibanda said.
As a result of the ZDF intervention, he said, the country was going through a political transition following the resignation of the former President.
The new President, Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa, was sworn-in as Head of State and and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zim-bob-we Defence Forces last week.
President Mnangagwa has already declared zero tolerance on corruption and warned that tough measures will be taken on those who indulge in the vice.
