By Dorrothy Moyo | The Zengeza MP Job Sikhala’s rescue campaign raised USD518.00 in less than 1 hour on Thursday night.

Sikhala was hounded out of his home when journo Hopewell Chin’ono and politician, Jacob Ngarivhume were arrested 3 days before the 31st July demo. Since then, Sikhala has been roaming between Zambia and Zimbabwe as state agents hunt for him.

He has however been speaking daily addressing Zimbabweans and his latest program was on Friday night.

The call for fundraising was made by UK based female Zimbabweans who asked how Sikhala’s family is fairing during these trying times.

Sikhala is calling for authorities to respect the constitution of Zimbabwe and to uphold the rule of law.

USD390 was via bank account while the rest was directly through the GoFundMe website.

ZimEye will send the money next week Tuesday.
