By A Correspondent- MDC Alliance national vice-chairperson Job Sikhala, who was arrested on Friday, will spend the weekend behind bars after the court postponed to Monday his the ruling on his application for refusal to be placed on remand.

Sikhala, who is facing charges of inciting the public to stage violent demonstrations on July 31, appeared in court this Saturday.

In opposing Sikhala’s application, the state told the court that they are in possession of video and audio clips that prove that the MDC Alliance official committed a crime.

The state also said inciting people to stage violent street demonstrations violates the country’s constitution after his defence counsel had earlier on argued that the MDC Alliance official was exercising his constitutional right as enshrined in the law of the land.
