Controversy

Indiscipline

Sibanda has been in the papers for being indisciplined. It is reported that in October 2014, Sibanda defied instructions from Highlanders Football Club coach Mark Mathe on three occasions before being substituted. Following the substitution, Sibanda is said to have ignored the whole technical team and headed straight to the dressing rooms. It is further reported that he joined his friends in the terraces instead of joining the team on the bench.[8]

Drug and Alcohol Abuse

In September 2014, Sibanda was given a final warning by Highlanders after his drunken behavior in camp before their 4-1 thumping at the hands of Dynamos Football Club in the TM Pick n Pay Challenge Cup.[9]

Missing Training

After joining How Mine Football Club, Sibanda is reported to have missed the team's pre-season match against Chicken Inn Football Club due to unknown reasons.[10]

Car Accident

In June 2015, Sibanda was involved in a car accident. Sibanda is reported to have lost control of his vehicle along Nketa Drive in Bulawayo.[11] He sustained a broken shoulder, neck, ribs and punctured lungs.[12]

As a result of this accident How Mine Football Club decided to de-register Sibanda as their player during the mid-season transfer window in July 2015 to give him ample time to recover without any pressure.[13]
