Tinashe Sambiri|MDC Alliance vice chairperson Hon Job Sikhala will return to court on February 18 after being denied bail by a Harare magistrate.

Hon Sikhala, MDC Alliance spokesperson, Advocate Fadzayi Mahere and journalist Hopewell Chin’ono are being persecuted for exposing the Zanu PF regime’s callousness.

The MDC Alliance has condemned the persecution of its members by Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s troubled administration.

“They have denied our national spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere bail. She will again, go back to remand prison.

She is not a criminal. Stop using unjust detentions against opponents.

Her Bail ruling will be handed down on Monday 18/01/21 at 11:15hrs in court 11 by magistrate Utahwashe.

Both her arrest and detention is illegal. She must get her freedom unconditionally.

Magistrate Nduna dismissed Hon. Sikhala’s bail application and said he should wait for commencement of trial while in prison custody.

Hon Sikhala will return to court on 18 February 2021,” MDC Alliance said in a statement.
