The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) has issued a strong warning to the public over a fake recruitment advert circulating on social media, urging citizens to rely only on official communication channels.

ZNA Public Relations Director, Hlengiweni Dube, said the fraudulent advert was designed to mislead and scam unsuspecting members of the public.

“The Zimbabwe National Army would like to inform members of the public to be on the lookout for a fake ZNA recruitment advert circulating on social media platforms,” said Dube.

“The advert was created by fraudsters to mislead and scam unsuspecting people. The fake recruitment advert was flighted by some mischief-makers who are circulating it to mislead and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.”

Dube made it clear that the army has not announced any recruitment for general duty soldiers in 2026.

“The organisation has not flighted any general duty soldiers’ recruitment advert for 2026,” he said.

He further emphasised that the ZNA does not use social media platforms for recruitment purposes.
