Soldiers and police offices are paid more than other civil servants but their salaries have been eroded by inflation, forcing some of them into crime. Recently, an elite soldier, a member of the Presidental Guard battalion was shot by Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officers and fled with a bullet lodged in his rib cage after robbing a Chitungwiza service station of cash, a firearm and other valuables. *Presidential Guard Soldier Shot By Detectives During Armed Robbery* Meanwhile, Mnangagwa yesterday said the government, “is committed to improving the conditions of service of the ZDF members.” He said: > … I challenge the ZDF administration to accelerate the completion of accommodation projects underway at Imbizo, Dzivarasekwa and Jason Ziyaphapha Moyo barracks. The President also promised to equip the ZDF with modern technologies to enable them to ward off domestic and international threats. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
