Speaking to ZimEye during attacks from war veterans aligned to Grace Mugabe who said he is too young to have fought in the war, Mr Sibanda said contrary to the allegations, he is indeed a war vet who was even Joshua Nkomo’s bodyguard during and after the war into the Gukurahundi period.
Below is an extract from his interview
: There are allegations by Joseph Chinotimba that you are too young to be a veteran. I asked him that why is  he  bringing that question at a time like this. Comrade Chinos went on to claim that you were born in 1969 which makes it impossible for you to be a veteran?
J.C : (laugh) that’s correctly wrong. I do not want to comment  on that. I am sure you know him better but I tell you by that time I was more than 10 years . I look very young because I look after myself, I exercise and I go to the gym,I believe in God, I go to church, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke  that’s why I look very young , but let me tell you now, I am more than 50 years old .
:   which year were you born?
J.C : I was born on the 1 st of January 1958.
J.C:I trained in Angola. I became an instructor in that country. If you want to know about my training in Mvuma in Angola. In Moxico province (sic).

JC: Since you are calling from a distance ask any one of your guys around and I will give him a copy of my birth certificate, I don’t have a copy of birth certificate at the moment but when they come I think I will be able to give it to them I will even show them my photos whilst I was in war available , certificates where I trained, and where I am a soldier. I used to be Nkomo’s bodyguard.
Q         : Did you say you were Nkomo’s bodyguard?
 JC :I am telling you that. When people were shot at Nkomo’s house I was there. Why did I go to Chikurubi detention?  I went there because there were allegations and they arrested his body guard and the bodyguard who was arrested is me Jabulani Sibanda.

  10. Just abandon zanuism no matter what it takes Jabu. You cant debate with those guys. Legality or crime are defined at Chinotimba’s level of analysis so understand that one. Remember no Zipra combatant is an accepted war vet except very few sellouts. Die today you will not be buried where you haven buried a few weeks ago. Its zanuism!
