Tinashe Sambiri|Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has intensified efforts to silence perceived political opponents.

While there was relief on Monday after Hon Job Sikhala was released from prison, the conditions accompanying the fearless politician’s bail are tight.

Political analysts say the regime is desperate to muzzle dissenting voices.

“Justice Chitapi granted @JobSikhala1 bail on conditions that he is to pay ZWL$25 000 bail, he is to reside at his home, to report at St Mary’s Police Station once a week every Friday between 6am and 18:00hrs and shall not interfere with witnesses or evidence,” the MDC Alliance said in a statement on Monday.
