High Court has reserved MDC Alliance vice chairperson Job Sikhala bail application Judgement to Monday 1 February at 1415 hours.

Sikhala was arrested and charged with communicating falsehoods after he posted on Twitter that a police officer had killed a child who was strapped on her mother’s back while attempting to hit a commuter omnibus that was loading at an undesignated point.

Earlier in the morning, Sikhala’s colleague Hopewell Chin’ono was granted ZWL$20 000 bail by High Court judge Justice Davison Foroma.

Another co- accused MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzai Mahere was granted bail at the Harare Magistrates court.
