Fired Deputy Minister issues public apology

Fired deputy minister Simelisizwe Sibanda made a public apology acknowledging his mistakes and taking full responsibility for the controversy that led to his dismissal.

In a statement released to the press, Sibanda expressed regret for any h@rm or embarrassment caused by his actions, which he described as ‘unbecoming of a public servant’.

He also apologised to his colleagues, the government, and the public for his failure to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

PUBLIC APOLOGY TO THE NATION OF ZIMBABWE BY HONOURABLE
SIMELISIZWE SIBANDA

2nd of July 2024

I, Honourable Simelisizwe Sibanda, former Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, do hereby express my sincere apologies for the concerns arising from my recent actions. I understand that my approach to addressing the issue of a teacher’s language proficiency was misguided and inappropriate, leading to perceptions of tribalism

I want to assure the public and especially the teachers that my intention was solely to ensure that our children receive quality education, and I was concerned about the teacher’s ability to communicate effectively with her students.

However, as a national leader, I should have
addressed this issue through appropriate channels, avoiding public platforms that may have fueled the tribal connotations.

I take full responsibility for my actions and acknowledge that my approach was wrong. I understand that my actions may have perpetuated tribal divisions, and for that, I truly apologise to the whole teaching fraternity and nation at large. I want to assure the public that my commitment to our nation’s unity and development has always been genuine.

I want to express my gratitude to the public, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development, for supporting me during my tenure. I appreciate the opportunity to have served and contributed to the development of our education sector and also want to extend mv apologies to all the leadership and members of my Party ZANU PF.

I understand the party’s values of unity and inclusivity, and I regret any harm caused by my lack of judgement. I hope
that the party and its members will accept my sincere apologies and recognize my commitment to our nation’s progress.

I would like to thank His Excellency, the President CDE Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to serve within the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Educatian,lnnovation Science and Technology Development, and regret that I have let him
down.

Finally, I remain committed to the nations progress under the leadership of our visionary leadership of His Excellency CDE Dr ED Munangagwa as we consolidated the gains we have made as we pursue Vision 2030.

I hope that the public will accept my sincere apalogies and recognize my commitment to our nation’s unity and progress I am committed to learning from this experience and growing as a leader
I thank you all.

Sincerely.

Honourable Simelisizwe Sibanda
Former Deputy Minister of Higher and Tertiary Educatian,lnnovation Science and Technology Development
