Jabulani Sibanda Wikileaks dossier

War veterans leader Jabulani Sibanda has been one of the most controversial political upstarts from Bulawayo. He has been involved in raging battles with bigwigs like Zimbabwe African People’s Union leader and former Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front politburo member Dumiso Dabengwa, former ZANU-PF chairman and now Vice-President John Nkomo. He has been suspended so many times from the party but is now reported to be at the forefront of the ZANU-PF instigated violence in the rural areas of Masvingo and other parts of the country. But his name is only cited in two Wikileaks cables and two embassy notes also released under Wikileaks. It is not even clear whether the war veterans leader is the same Jabulani Sibanda cited in one of the cables that just contains names of people alleged to have received education allowances.

 The four cables are:

4-Mnangagwa Zimbabwe’s Gorbachev!

3-Dabengwa biggest loser in Bulawayo violence

2-Jabulani Sibanda loses favour with ZANU-PF bigwigs

1-What the hell is this?
