Ms Matanga congratulated the officers for their newly promoted positions and she’s looking forward to work with them.

As you all know it’s our wish to fill all the position in the police force and we would like to see more NCOs throughout the country to implement the work police proposed for the year,” she said.

Ms Matanga explained that being promoted to the rank of sergeant they are the frontline leaders within the police force.
