ZDF Commander Valerio Sibanda Set to Be Replaced by General Nzvede.

By Dorrothy Moyo | Harare – Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) Commander, General Valerio Sibanda, is expected to be removed from his current post and replaced by a military official identified as General Nzvede, sources have confirmed.

General Sibanda is reportedly set for promotion to the position of Vice President, where he would replace Kembo Mohadi. The anticipated transition follows recent public praise for Mohadi by Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga during an interview with ZimEye over the weekend. Mubaiwa credited Mohadi with saving her life during the White City Stadium grenade attack, where an explosive device detonated under her feet.

During the same interview, Mubaiwa sharply criticised ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa, accusing him of exploiting her ordeal for political gain despite never having communicated with her directly.

Sources suggest that Mohadi will likely be retired from politics permanently.

Mnangagwa was reached for comment.
