Harare Bureau
The negative publicity Zimbabwe has received from Western media and the current volatile global political and economic environment has served as a wake up call and warning for the country to enhance its security consciousness to survive such assaults, President Mugabe said yesterday.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces made the remarks yesterday while commissioning the National Defence College in Harare.
“The current polarisation of small states and societies, including Zimbabwe, through the adverse and rabid effects of globalisation which seek to impose a new world order under the auspices of neoliberalism calls us to remain vigilant and alert to the enemy’s tactics,” President Mugabe said.
