THE late Central Radio Station Manager, Dumisani Sibanda, has been remembered for his passion for broadcasting, dedication to his profession and contribution to Zimbabwe’s media industry.
Mr Sibanda died in Harare
Mourners gathered for a church service at a local funeral parlour in Harare on Saturday, where family members and colleagues paid tribute to his broadcasting career and contribution to ZBC.
ZBC Chief Executive Officer Mr Sugar Chagonda described Mr Sibanda’s death as a loss to the entire ZBC family.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of us, Dumisani, who was a very talented and passionate broadcaster, serving as producer, then executive producer and later became Central Radio Station manager. This is a loss to the ZBC family as a whole, as his passion for broadcasting is irreplaceable. We will walk this journey together with the family until his final resting place.”
ZBC Director for Radio Services Mr Albert Chekai said Mr Sibanda played a key role in the development of Central Radio.
“We can’t talk about Central Radio without speaking about Dumisani. He was one of the pioneers of the station. We sent him to lead the team in Gweru because of his passion, dedication and enthusiasm,” Mr Chekai said.
Colleagues described Mr Sibanda as an easy-going and versatile broadcaster who contributed to the development of ZBC radio.
“Dumisani was versatile; be it sport, politics or business news, he would deliver,” a colleague said.
“I learnt a lot from the guy. He mentored me to be a good producer/presenter and I’m forever thankful to him,” another colleague said.
Mr Sibanda joined ZBC in 2002 as a student on industrial attachment and rose through the ranks from Producer/Presenter to Executive Producer and ultimately Station Manager of Central Radio, a position he held until his death.
He also played a key role in the evolution of ZBC’s radio stations, including SFM, which is now Classic 263.
Mr Sibanda’s body will proceed to Gweru on Saturday, where it will pass through his residence before being taken to Bulawayo. Burial is set for Monday.
He is survived by his wife, Patience, and son, Andile.

Truck Accident Lawyer: How to Get Maximum Compensation
A truck accident can be far more serious than a regular car crash. Large commercial trucks can cause severe injuries, major property damage, and long-term financial problems. If you were injured in a crash involving a semi-truck, delivery truck, or commercial vehicle, a truck accident lawyer can help you understand your legal options.
Truck accident cases are often complicated because more than one party may be responsible. The truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or vehicle manufacturer may all be involved. A skilled semi-truck accident attorney can investigate the case and identify who may be liable.
Why Truck Accident Claims Are Different
Commercial trucking companies usually have strong insurance companies and legal teams. They may start investigating the crash immediately. This is why victims should not rely only on the insurance company’s version of events.
A lawyer can help collect driver logs, black box data, inspection records, maintenance history, delivery schedules, and accident reports. These records may show whether the truck driver was speeding, tired, distracted, overloaded, or violating safety rules.
Compensation After a Truck Accident
A trucking accident claim may include medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, pain and suffering, emotional distress, vehicle damage, and long-term care. If the injury is permanent, the settlement may also include loss of future income.
Final Thoughts
A commercial truck accident can change your life quickly. Working with a truck accident lawyer can help you fight for fair compensation and avoid being pressured into a low settlement.
Mental Health Awareness and Emotional Well-Being
Mental health is an important aspect of overall well-being that affects emotions, thoughts, and behavior. Anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional burnout have become increasingly common due to modern lifestyles, financial pressure, social expectations, and digital overload.

One major reason mental health awareness has grown is the recognition that emotional well-being affects physical health, relationships, and workplace productivity. Many organizations now provide mental health support programs, counseling services, and wellness initiatives to help employees manage stress effectively.

Technology has expanded access to mental health resources through teletherapy platforms, meditation apps, and online counseling services. Social media campaigns and public awareness initiatives are helping reduce stigma and encourage open conversations about mental health challenges.

However, barriers such as limited healthcare access, cultural stigma, and financial constraints still prevent many individuals from seeking help. Experts emphasize the importance of supportive communities, education, and professional mental health services in improving emotional well-being.
