Abstract
The testimony of ex-servicemen provides a unique insight into Zimbabwe's security architecture. The country's war veterans – many only in their early twenties at independence – are still firmly embedded in the status quo, and remain ideologically committed to Zanu-PF. Though junior officers may be disillusioned, a coup is nevertheless unlikely unless Mugabe loses control of the carefully constructed system of fear, nepotism and loyalty.
