THREE Masvingo soldiers have been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment each for armed robbery by the Zimbabwe Defense Forces General Court Martial.
The trio Ndlovu Fortune, Manyanga Ratiel and Kainos Masase were serving at 4 Infantry Brigade in Masvingo.
The soldiers were convicted for armed robbery, unlawful entry and theft cases committed in and around Masvingo between January and July 2021.
In a statement Director Army Public Relations, Alphios Makotore said: “They were convicted of armed robbery, unlawful entry and theft after a fully contested trial before the General Court Martial seating in Bulawayo last week. They had all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“Ndlovu was reduced in rank to private before all three were discharged from the Zimbabwe National Army with ignominy, and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment each for the offences.”
Makotore further warned members of the army against criminal activities.
