Sikhaka, Sithole Denied Bail For A 5th Consecutive Time
Zengeza West Member of Parliament (MP), Job Sikhala was together with Chitungwiza North MP, Godfrey Sithole denied bail for the fifth consecutive time when they appeared before a Harare Magistrate this Wednesday.
Sithole and Sikhala had applied for bail arguing that circumstances had changed.
Harare Magistrate Taurai Manuwere, however, denied them bail saying there are no changed circumstances to warrant the duo getting bail.
They are facing charges of inciting public violence which erupted in Nyatsime on 14 June during the funeral wake of slain Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist, Moreblessing Ali.
They were arrested in June together with 14 other Nyatsime residents and have been in jail since then.
Another Nyatsime resident was arrested last week over the same incident while other accused persons are said to be on the run.
The CCC party led by Nelson Chamisa, a former Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services during the Government of National Unity (GNU) says its members are political detainees.
