The Zanu PF war vet thug leader, Jabulani Sibanda, who earned notoriety for intimidating, beating, raping and suspected murders of innocent Zimbabweans in the pursuit of Mugabe and Zanu PF’s singular object of ensuring there will be no regime change has finally come out to admit his thuggery.
“The conflict over internal party elections currently obtaining is a betrayal of war veterans’ aspirations. It is criminal because the revolution is now devoid of any legality. They (Zanu PF leaders) have committed a crime of unparalleled proportions,” Sibanda told the Daily News.
“What we thought was that after campaigning so hard, spending months sleeping in the bush and subsequently winning elections resoundingly in 2013, that we would use the five years of Mugabe’s reign to reorganise the party ideologically and structurally.
“We, however, discovered that the ideology had changed to that of scattering the masses, demobilising and intimidating them using politically borrowed State power,” he said.
Soon after independence Mugabe and Zanu PF made a conscientious decision to undermine the country’s democratic institutions and ride roughshod over the people basic and fundamental freedoms and rights including the right to one-man-one-vote and even the right to life to establish a de facto one-party dictatorship. By the time Sibanda stepped on the national political stage in the run up to the 2008 elections till his summarily dismissal in 2014 the Zanu PF dictatorship was well established and so too was the party’s thuggery and vote rigging.
Sibanda’s suggestion that the intimidation of the masses started after the 2013 elections is nonsense; it is to be expected of thugs like him; they are mentally slow, easily fooled and duped but worst, of all, they are known to have a very selective memory in which they are the victim and not the thug!
“Yes, we have been betrayed and we do not regret ever working under Mugabe because some of us were not working for an individual’s legacy but that of the nation. Remember when we were under the Ian Smith bondage, some thought that his system would not be dismantled but it was.
“So if it happened then it will certainly happen now. Intimidation will not work,” said Jabulani with conviction.
How can intimidating the people and denying them a vote be in the national interest! Mr Sibanda and his fellow Zanu PF thugs understood the primary objective was to ensure there was no regime change so that political power and the unfettered access to the nation’s wealth and resource will remain firmly in the hands of the Zanu PF ruling elite. Sibanda and his fellow thugs considered themselves fully paid up members of the ruling elite and thus their full share the looted wealth and political power.
Other than a select few of the thug ringleaders like Sibanda and Joseph Chinotimba most of the war vets got absolutely nothing. They would spear head the violent seizures of the white owned farms, for example, and as soon as the white farmer is driven off the njambanja thugs were in turn be driven off the farm with not so much as a thank you!
The decades of mismanagement, corruption and looting have however taken their toll on the national economic forcing the nation cake to be shared out amongst the ruling elite to shrink; in recent years poverty has started knocking at the doors of even the ruling elite. As for the 16% or 2 million ordinary Zimbabweans on whose doors poverty started as far back as the 1990s, the rogue has since taken over completely, these people live in abject poverty; it is the people who have to knock before they enter.
As long as Mugabe and Zanu PF remain in power the economic meltdown now gripping the nation is set to get worse because Mugabe, for all his arrogance and vote rigging expertise has since learnt that it cannot rig economic recovery. His $27 billion ZimAsset economic plan, design to throw lots and lots of money at the economic crisis without ever addressing the underlying problems behind the crisis, is dead in the water because no one was prepared to waste money funding such a hare-brain scheme.
Since Mugabe and Zanu PF do not have the political will or vision to address the underlying problems of mismanagement and corruption – these are tied with the party’s political patronage system that has kept Mugabe and Zanu PF in power and thus it would be political suicide for anyone in the party to dismantle that system, especially now when the party has become unelectable and is totally dependent on thuggery and rigging the vote to stay in power – fuelling the economic meltdown; the only way out is to elect a new government that does not have the same political baggage.
Even simpletons like Jabulani Sibanda can see that the present economic meltdown is not economically or politically sustainable and hence the reason why he is talking of the regime being dismantled just as Ian Smith was dismantled.
Regime change is written everywhere that even the seasoned thugs like Jabulani Sibanda who are known to be mentally slow in comprehending things now know regime change is as certain as the sun rising tomorrow.
What Mugabe and Zanu PF must understand is that their entire political machinations to resist regime change have only succeeded in delaying it but now the time is up. The choice before them is to accept regime change now when there is still a chance of any orderly transfer of power. If the regime continue to drag its feet and the change is triggered by social unrest or rioting then Zanu PF leaders must know that they will be nowhere for them to hide from the angry mob!

The willingness of some of our people to sell their own kith and kin for the slave price of a piece of calico cloth and a handful of beads did not end with the abolition of slavery but has continued to this day. The Dzakutsaku mentality is something that will not end soon, as long as there are tyrant they will always be plenty of Dzakutsaku thugs like Sibanda ready and willing to do their dirty work!

Wilbert, I can understand your anger, frustration and impatience about unseating Gushaz but my point still remains valid. For the campaign of civil disobedience, or whatever other term you may use, to succeed it has to be led by s/body, isn’t it??!! That’s the crux of the problem…LEADERSHIP. It’s just NOT possible for the povo to just rise in protest without a leadership mobilising, guiding, rallying, financing, leading them!!

You must be one of the thugs and now you want to hide behind your little finger by claiming every said about Zanu PF thuggery is an “exaggeration”! Now that regime change is upon us, you will tell the nation exactly what mischief you have been up to.

Absolutely! The poverty is now reaching even those who have helped Mugabe establish and maintain the dictatorship. It is naive to think after telling the civil servant that they will not be paid their traditional bonus and many of them are going to lose their jobs those people will still help Zanu PF rig the up coming by-elections? Of course not, they are idiots but trust me the penny has dropped!

So you think Mugabe can rule for ever by making the people so poor all they think about is where are they going to get their next meal? As more and more people are forced into abject poverty is will only be a matter of time before the pot boils over!
Zanu PF has always had the self-destruct gene in it like all tyrannical regimes. It has been dormant all these years only to be triggered by the shrinking national cake and the dog-eat-dog that resulted. Now that the gene is activated there is no stopping it until the party is destroyed.
There nothing anyone can do to stop Zanu PF self-destruct; our best prayers are that the thugs do not drag the nation into the abyss with them! By hanging on to power like a binnacle to a rock Mugabe is making a peaceful transfer of power difficult, leaving the nation only one alternative – use brute force to remove him from power as happened with Gaddafi! He will be removed but the nation may take time to recover to law and order as has happened to Libya; that is my greatest fear!

It is for the people themselves to ensure they are not so easily conned. Zimbabwe has become a hot bed of con politicians because we have some of the most naive and gullible voters in the whole world.
Jabulani Sibanda will only have to give some of his victims a piece of meat just as Mugabe did to the Zanu PF Youths last year and they forgot that they are unemployed and poor and spent the whole weekend singing Mugabe’s praises. They are still unemployed and even poorer today and have forgotten what meat tastes like because they families cannot afford such luxuries. That is what I mean by naive and gullible voters!

Mugabe has corrupted the Police, the Army, the Judiciary, ZEC and all the other national institutions including the war vets. It is fitting and proper that we implement all the democratic reforms and restore the independence and integrity of all our national institutions. It is also fitting and proper that the truth of what has happened in our country throughout the dark days in known and justice is allowed to take its course.

Over 30 000 people were murdered during Gukurahundi and yet how many people have been arrested for it? Are we then to conclude that no one was ever murdered although President Mugabe himself had admitted to “a moment of madness”! Jabulani Sibanda himself is admitting intimidating people why do not believe him? Or do you want him to confess to you face to face? Go ahead, who is stopping you!

Jabu is right Zanu PF is collapsing and so there will be no “rushing back” to anything.
Jabu and Mujuru have been kicked out of Zanu PF but by them telling the truth of what Zanu PF has been doing they are aiding in the destruction of the faction that has remained in power. Just as much Zanu PF would like to purge all the Mujuru faction the party also knows that many of them know a lot of things about the party that would destroy them in turn and hence the reason they are doing everything slowly and carefully.
Those who are being purged like Sibanda know that as long as the hold the party’s secrets they are safe.
The game of bluffing cannot go on for long!

Like many other freedom fighters, we used to hold Dzakutsaku will the greatest contempt; what Jabulani Sibanda was doing for Zanu PF was not different from what Dzakutsaku were doing for Ian Smith! He and his fellow thugs soiled the name and honour of all freedom fighters died and alive! Let us hope that there will be a full investigation into Sibanda and his gangs’ activities and all those responsible for the intimidations, beatings and rape are properly punished!

Some exaggerations end up defeating the intended purpose if there is any. Its like Jabualani Sibanda was raping people in Bulawayo yet not a single person filed a report that she or he had been raped by Jabulani Sibanda in Bulawayo. It is enough to say he was a Zanupf thug or whatever but if one exaggerates like this writer someone is going to say everything said here is just a lie.
