By A Correspondent | Zengeza MP Job Sikhala’s wife last night received a message which suggests that there are poisoning efforts at the Harare Remand prison where her husband is currently held.

The message who’s authenticity could not be established was a supposed alert narrated in broken English that her husband will never be permitted bail, and will be poisoned.

It read in full:

“I’m a top prison officer works at Chikurubi maximum prison. I don’t want to lie to you, all these activists being arrested will not be permitted bail never.

“These guys are being given food poison and water inside. I don’t think the opposition MDC will exist again. Last night 3 government officials visits here and left some plastic bags with powders I’m sure it’s an additional poison to these inmates.

The arrest of Ngaribvume, Chin’ono and Sikhala’s main aim is to wipe them all in cells.

Alert!”

Sikhala is set to attend court Monday morning after being arrested on Friday afternoon and he has been charged for inciting public violence. His party, the MDC Alliance, however maintains that he is being punished simply for being an opposition MP.
