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.
The MDC also takes this opportunity to thank all our party leaders and members who actively expressed their solidarity to Hon. Sikhala
