MDC Grateful For Supporters' Solidarity With Sikhala

Opposition MDC party has thanked party leaders and supporters who supported vice-chairperson Job Sikhala who was on Monday released on $5 000 bail. Sikhala was arrested last week and charged with treason after some political banter at a campaign rally in Bikita.

Addressing a crowd that had congregated for the rally more than a week ago, Sikhala vowed that the MDC will overthrow the government before the elections scheduled for 2023. MDC spokesperson, Daniel Molekele said in a statement:

The MDC would like to confirm that our National Vice-Chairman Hon. Job Sikhala has been granted 5 000 RTGS$ bail

Hon. Sikhala is still expected to appear in court on 24th July 2019 for his remand hearing.
