Jane Mlambo| Opposition legislator Job Sikhala has mocked those who participated in the November 2017 military inspired transition that dethroned the late former President Robert Mugabe saying they did not have eyes to see that they were being trapped.

Speaking at a public discussion on Thursday, Sikhala said each time the military take a leading role in changing governments, it does not lead to a democratic change.

“Exclude me, I did not participate in that nonsense. Firstly, being a scholar of history not as a lawyer alone, knowing well that where the military has taken a leading role in the changing of government, nowhere in Africa have soldiers led a democratic change.

“We knew we were going through a military coup and a military coup would only be supported by those people who did not have the eyes to see that we are being taken into a trap of a worse dictatorship,” said Sikhala.
