"There is nothing to celebrate, contrary to his name, about former War Veterans leader, Jabulani Sibanda," wrote the Zanu PF apologist, Caitlin Kamba.

"Especially when he has become a loose cannon that is at the service of the highest bidder.

"His statements about precipitating insurrection border on terrorism and should be taken seriously to avert a potential political catastrophe.  He should be told in no uncertain terms that his sudden inclination to go back to the bushes and igniting a new revolution altogether against the revolutionary Zanu PF party is pathetic wishful thinking. Someone somewhere must surely rehabilitate Jabulani Sibanda before this madness grows out of hand."

Yes Jabulani Sibanda is a turncoat on par with Morrison Nyati. You are wrong to think that Sibanda has become a danger to the nation only after he was kicked out of Zanu PF last year he has been turncoat long before that. When he crisscrossed the country threatening and beating people to attend Zanu PF rallies and vote for the party he was not just denying his victim the basic freedoms and rights to a free vote; he was undermining the very stability of the whole nation by destroying the foundation of stable government - the right of all citizens to a free and meaningful say in the governance of the country.

You are right, Jabulani Sibanda is not the only turncoat since independence there is a whole cabal in Zanu PF including President Mugabe himself who systematically denied the people their basic freedoms and rights for selfish political gain. For all these years it was none other than President Mugabe himself who has deployed thugs like Sibanda to terrorize the nation.

Sibanda is no more than a dog trained to hunt and kill other people's goats and sheep. Zanu PF has many other murderous thugs doing its dirty bidding; the party is singling out Sibanda for condemnation because he is no longer one of its own thugs, he is a "loose cannon", and the party it is fearful its own member are going to be the victims of his thuggery.

The people of Zimbabwe are not going to be fooled by the opportunist condemnation of Sibanda's thuggery by Zanu PF and its apologists now that he has left the party because the people know it was the regime that trained and paid him to be a thug and, worse still, they know the regime has many, many more thugs still doing its dirty work!
