<vote /> A form three pupil at Mpopoma High School, son to Bulawayo’s Zanu-PF provincial secretary for information and publicity, Christopher Sibanda allegedly committed suicide by hanging on Tuesday morning.

Sibanda's son Eddie, was found hanging from a tree at his family’s residence in Njube suburb. It could not be immediately established what led him to take his life.

When a Chronicle journalist visited the family’s home, Sibanda described the incident as a disgrace,

What will I benefit if you publicise this? Nothing except embarrassment! Lihlazo leli (It’s a disgrace). Everyone knows about it. If you wait for the funeral service you’ll see scores of people gathering here. So many people have come to pay their condolences. Many war veterans have come to console me. Already people know about ihlazo leli. Why do you want to publish this? How come so many people commit suicide here but we don’t read about them?

He went on to say that if the story was published it would bring him pain,

There are a lot of things troubling me. They’re people bothering me and this has crushed me. If you publish it, it will cause me further pain. You can get the report from the police who were here and did their investigation leading to a logical conclusion of the incident. They’re the ones who took the body.
