Some bizarre African laws you did not know existed

Wearing Camouflage – Zimbabwe

According to the Defence Act of Zimbabwe, it is illegal to wear any attire resembling the military uniform.  The law also outlaws the sale and purchase of army fatigue in the country, something the military heads said contributed to the increased crime by individuals wearing them.

According to Zimbabwe National Army, through its Director of Army Public Relations, Lieutenant-Colonel Alphios Makotore:

Resultantly, there has also been an increase in the number of armed robberies by criminals wearing clothes resembling military uniforms or replicas of camouflage. There are also cases of individuals who are bent on tarnishing the image of the ZNA. The ZNA will guard against the misuse and abuse of its uniforms or any apparel resembling such.

Artists are also prohibited from wearing the fatigue while performing.
