Sibindi died in a car crash in Hwange on Saturday and is set to be buried at his rural home in Silobela at the weekend.
MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu yesterday said Sibindi’s death had left the party poorer.
“Sibindi was a down to earth veteran of the democratic struggle who never raised his voice high, but was very strategic on grassroots mobilisation,” he said.
“We are very saddened by his sudden passing on and we will dearly miss him and his strategies which had put up the party structures into a solid entity in Matabeleland North.”
Matabeleland South MDC-T spokesperson Ekem Moyo said his province was saddened by Sibindi’s passing on.
“Mat South would like to mourn the sad and untimely death of one of the revered and dedicated freedom fighters, human rights activist and MDC-T Mat North chairperson Sibindi,” he said.
