Farai Dziva|Concerned Zimbabweans have launched an initiative called #IStandWithJob in support of opposition MDC vice chairperson, Job Sikhala.

Yesterday the MDC said the remarks made by Sikhala did not represent the position of the party.

Posting on Facebook, party deputy spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka wrote:
“The MDC believes in non-violence, legality and constitutionalism
The MDC notes with deep worry and concern that Hon.

Job Sikhala’s statements made during a rally in Bikita East over the weekend have caused uproar and the party wishes to clarify its position regarding the same.

It is the party’s view that Hon. Sikhala’s views as expressed at the rally and widely quoted in the press were his own personal opinions, which we believe have been misconstrued and misinterpreted.”

Concerned Zimbabweans have however vowed to support the ” under siege” Sikhala.
