Sibanda, who was expelled from Zanu PF last year over allegations of belonging to former Vic-President Joice Mujuru’s camp, at the weekend said senior government officials including Cabinet ministers, were corrupt and run their ministries without a clear understanding of the national agenda, hence the government’s failure to revive the economy.
“Policies of Zanu PF have been betrayed by the leading personnel of the party,” he said.
“The leading personnel in the party are actually corrupt to the bone marrow.”
Sibanda claimed that during the era of bureau de changes over 10 years ago, almost 90% of the politburo members had licences to run financial institutions, yet their sources of foreign currency remained obscure.
Sibanda said when he raised the issue about 11 years ago when he was chairperson of the war veterans Bulawayo province, he was fired. “What was the source of their foreign currency?
“When I stood up against the issue in 2004 I was chased away.

“Most of the policies in Zanu PF are good, but they have been betrayed and made to serve the few and these are the core issues why they are purging me.”
Sibanda said he felt sorry for President Robert Mugabe, as his ministers did as they pleased, without a care for the country.
“Zanu PF will reward crime,” he said.
“I really feel sorry for president Mugabe. Each minister does as he wants like there is no national agenda and direction. Each minister comes and dissolves the board of that particular ministry.
“Each minister has become a president in that particular ministry and does as he or she pleases.”
