By A Correspondent- Opposition MDC deputy chairman Job Sikhala’s health continues to deteriorate in remand prison after he was barred from accessing a private doctor, his lawyers have revealed.

Sikhala’s lawyer Harrison Nkomo said that his client’s legs were swollen.

However, Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service spokesperson Meya Khanyenzi said Sikhala had not requested for medical attention.

Sikhala’s bail appeal at the High Court is expected to be heard today before Justice Erica Ndewere.
