AIR Force of Zimbabwe Commander Air Marshall Perrance Shiri has commended Zimbabweans for maintaining peace before, during and after the just ended harmonised elections. In an interview ahead of Zimbabwe Defence Forces Day commemorations next Tuesday, Air Marshal Shiri said the peace prevailing in the country was a result of a robust security force.

“I want to congratulate Zimbabweans for observing peace during the period leading to the elections and after the elections,” he said.
“Our business is maintenance of security and we feel excited when our people show signs of maturity.

“Imagine what the situation would be like if people had embarked on the alternative, that is, violence.
“We have seen how a lot of countries have regressed as a result of conflicts. We appreciate that our people understand that a single fire can start a breaking fire.”

Air Marshal Shiri said the peaceful environment should continue for the development of the country.
“We have demonstrated our ability to do that and it is my wish that we continue living in harmony, which is very important for co-existence and development of our country,” he said.

He said the availability of a highly skilled and motivated workforce has made it possible for the country to deal with security threats.
