Under fire siege war veterans' leader Jabulani Sibanda yesterday remained defiant, insisting he wanted to meet President Robert Mugabe over Zanu-PF party issues and dismissed as "nonsensical" reports that he had planned a march to State House today.

Following ringing endorsements from war veterans in Midlands and Bulawayo, Sibanda said he was still seeking a meeting with Mugabe, although the President had said he was acting as if he was possessed by the spirit of Beelzebub, the chief spirit of the Devil.

Meanwhile, Jabulani Sibanda's efforts to clandestinely convene an illegal war veterans Congress in Harare became unstuck yesterday after his foreign donors failed to secure a venue.

Sources close to developments say Jabulani Sibanda then sent word to some, but not all of the war veterans he had invited to the clandestine indaba which he intended to use to overturn the decision of the war veterans elders to boot him out.

Member of the war vets elders Patrick Nyaruwata urged the war veterans who had been invited to return home because there was no meeting.
