Career[]

Ncube joined the Zimbabwe national army in 1980 immediately on return from the Rhodesian Bush War which ended in the same year. He commenced as a non-commissioned officer who began to rapidly rise through the ranks due to his agility and innovation, mainly through his creation of the elephant news, a monthly magazine which documented ongoing events at the war occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where he had been stationed at the time. On return from the war he rose two ranks to the rank of full colonel, where he was promoted to the director of public relations of the ZNA and the spokesman of defense. He boasts of 19 diplomas attained from various institutions in journalism, public relations and finance in addition to three degrees, an MBA degree and a postgrad from the National University of Science and Technology in Zimbabwe. He is currently studying for a doctoral degree in Public Administration, and is still serving in the Zimbabwe National army, despite prior speculation of his involvement in a military coup against the government led by President Robert Mugabe.
