Jane Mlambo| Speaking exclusively to an online media organisation, opposition MDC Deputy chairperson Job Sikhala has added fire to the debate on his trending picture in an under-sized waistcoat.

Sikhala had this say after being asked about his reaction to picture, “It’s good that people talk about one of their own. It really shows that Zimbabweans follow those whom they hold in high esteem. The surprise only came when I realized that I have shut the social media down.

“The picture has circulated more than any trending news for sometime. It exceeded even the time when I was arrested. Although the waistcoat is a photoshop I enjoyed the funny as well.

“It’s not about allegations of being corrupt or anything negative. It’s people who just found light moments under the difficult circumstances under an unmatched dictatorship we are under. So let the people trend the picture,” Sikhala.
