The Zimbabwe Defence Forces have effectively banned its officers and soldiers from marrying each other - and this includes those already married. In an internal circular which came into effect on February 1, General Philip Valerio Sibanda said the "Fraternisation Policy" was to avoid violation of "good order and military discipline".
