Farai Dziva|MDC deputy chairperson, Job Sikhala says he is stunned by the excitement and anxiety about the charges he is facing.

Sikhala is expected to make an initial appearance at Harare Magistrate Court this afternoon.

“I am worried and shocked over the excitable elements jumping into the bandwagon to lump treason, banditry, insurgency and coup plotting on my part over political banter of a statement I made in Bikita,” said Sikhala in a statement yesterday.

“What I meant was that we need to overthrow hunger, intimidation, abuse of traditional leaders, poverty and all vices associated with the current mismanagement of our State by the current government.

Let it be clear that the MDC, nor anyone associated with it, will ever engage in any unconstitutional governance of our country. If anything, the MDC is a party of constitutionalism and legality.”
