Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former war veterans chairperson Jabulani Sibanda has announced he was rejoining the governing ZANU PF. He made the announcement at the party\u2019s meeting held at an undisclosed location.<\/p>\n

He had been off the radar since 2014 when the now late Robert Mugabe arrested and dragged him to court for over a year, accusing him of undermining him accusing him of planning a bedroom coup. He was linked to the former Vice President Dr Joice Mujuru\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n

However, in a video, a buoyant Sibanda rebuked criminals who he said had taken over the revolutionary party and needed to be weeded out if the party was to be reorganised. He said:<\/p>\n

They come and hide in the party and commit crimes, then people hate the party saying it is full of criminals.<\/p>\n

To the criminals, I say, it is now quarter past, it is time up. I do not care if you campaign by denigrating my name, but this party knows when Jabu is there the party will reawaken.<\/p>\n

This party will rise ideological and in principle, it has to be reorganised structurally and ideologically.<\/p>\n

If you do not know the aims of this party, take a step back.<\/p>\n

Sibanda\u2019s name became synonymous with violence between 2008 and 2013 when he intimidated mainly rural folk, encouraging them to vote for ZANU PF.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Sibanda addressed MDC Renewal inaugural congress where he invited the opposition party to join hands with the People First political outfit in dislodging ZANU PF.<\/p>\n
