HARARE - Former Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Jonathan Moyo has hailed retired General Philip Valerio Sibanda for maintaining a scandal-free record throughout his more than 50 years of military service.
Writing on his X account, Moyo described Sibanda as an "Officer and a Gentleman" whose career embodied dedication, valour, and professionalism.
"From his heroic contributions during the National Liberation Struggle - rising with distinction through the ranks post-independence—to leading United Nations peacekeeping missions, commanding the Zimbabwe National Army from 2003 to 2017, and serving as Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces since 2017, he has exemplified level-headed leadership and remained scandal-free throughout," Moyo posted.
Moyo further praised Sibanda as a pillar of integrity and honour, noting that his leadership inspired generations of soldiers and citizens alike.
"A true pillar of professionalism, integrity, and honour in the ZDF, his career was not merely served but masterfully led. Well done, General—may your legacy endure!" he added.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently retired Sibanda, appointing General Matutu as his successor.
