'Which sleeve size do you want to wear Jabulani?'
27 Oct 2014 at 11:10hrs | Views
Zanu pf is understood to be at an advanced stage of making Jabulani Sibanda - the much feared former Zipra combatant who now leads the Zimbabwe War Vertarians Association, to choose the size of the sleeves of the shirt they are about to make him wear making him taste his own medicine..
The size of the shirt sleeves refers to the cutting of hands. If one chooses a long sleeve, that means his hands are chopped off at wrist level while those who choose short sleeves have their hands chopped off at elbow level. This torture and permanent bodily harm was a method devised by none other than Jabulani himself during Zanupf reign of terror during the run up to the 2008 General Elections.
Thousands of mainly MDC supporters lost their limbs and some their dear lives from shock and bleeding during this inhuman method of man torture. Now Zanu pf, through Amai Grace Mugabe is understood to have issued an order condemning the former Zipra to taste his own medicine. Why is Jabulani made to wear the sleeves of his choice?
The Zipra war-vet must face the music because of his alliance with the Vice President Joice Mujuru led faction. The order and command is understood to have been leaked by members of the CIO sympathetic to both Amai Mujuru and Jabulani Sibanda. The same sources are said to be mooting the idea of a break away of former Zipra forces from the National War vet Association-a move that further weakens Zanu pf and threatens national stability as the war vets split could mean old scores of Zipra-Zanla come to life. What make this more so is the fact that Mujuru is widow to Solomon, a Zipra oriented commander turned Zanla who died in a suspicious fire infeno and is herself a former war combatant so respected by a larger potion of both former Zipra and Zanla forces. Jabulani has been quoted as saying that, as war vets they rallied behind Mujuru a person who fought in the liberation struggle for Zimbabwe than Amai Grace who thinks that being married to a liberation hero gives her the license to rule Zimbabwe. This has angered Amai Mugabe who has vurtually taken over the running of Zanu pf and (probably)the country from her husband Robert Gabriel Mugabe
