The following retirement feature appeared in the Outpost in July 1964:

‘After completing his education at Domboshawa School, African Detective Station Sergeant Nyamayaro attested in the B.S.A.P. in 1941 and was posted to the Town Branch of the Force. He transferred to C.I.D. five years later and in 1953 was promoted to African Detective Sergeant. He was advanced to the rank of Station Sergeant in 1962 and was awarded the Colonial Police Long Service Medal in 1960. Although his service has been mainly with C.I.D. Salisbury and C.I.D. Umtali, for the last year or so he has been stationed at Sinoia, from which station he went on retirement on pension on 31 May. He intends to farm on his own account in the Msengezi Purchase Area.’
