ZANU PF chairman for Bulawayo province Jabulani Sibanda has claimed that the ruling party represents God, urging aspiring parliamentarians to secure seats in the upcoming polls.
Sibanda who is infamous for spearheading a nationwide reign of terror during the 2008 presidential run-off said this whilst addressing ex-combatants in Redcliff recently.
He said the major aim of this year’s election is for the ruling party to defend the parliamentary seats.
“They are electing you to go and defend that seat in parliament. That seat will not be occupied by God’s enemy. The war is no longer between Zanu PF and opposition parties.
“The war is between God and the devil and Zanu PF represents God,” he said said.
He urged unity among Zanu PF members ahead of the August 23 and urged the ex-combatants to desists from bhora musango concept which once rocked the Muigabe regime.
“I was in the liberation war, I saw blood flowing, I didn’t see Ndebele blood, I didn’t see Shona blood or a Tonga blood, I saw blood of liberation war fighters as war veterans we must be united.
“We are fighting with imperialism. We want to defend our values as Africans. Now we are seeing some Western countries being engaged in abhorrent practices,” he said.
Sibanda slammed foreign nations for interfering with Zimbabwe’s internal affairs.
“I know the problems that we are going through, I know the confusion that sometimes is there in our revolution, even in our party itself. I know the problems that we face as a nation because of outsiders that are interfering in our affairs, both politically and economically,” he said.
