By A Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Republic Police have banned the Zengeza MP Job Sikhala’s upcoming constituency meeting.

The ban comes short in the heels of Sikhala’s win against the state for treason earlier this month. The meeting was slated for next week 7th March. The ZRP in their refusal, said the meeting does not meet the requirements of a public meeting according to the MOPA legislation.

Commenting on the development, Hon Sikhala said: “the program and plan by the regime to ban any activities related to MDC is now in full swing.

“The right to political choice is not only under threat but extinguished by the despotic regime supritending on our affairs.

“It is with shock that as a Member of Zengeza West I notified the police of my intention to convene a Constituency Feedback Rally at Zengeza 2 on the 7th of March 2020, for the Officer Commanding, Chitungwiza to inform me that my application does not meet the requirements of a public meeting. He did not disclose that which qualifies as a public meeting.

“This is an assault on the democratic rights of our citizens. Resistance to evil and authoritarianism is our calling.”
