I am not in exile: Sikhala

OPPOSITION politician Job Sikhala has dispelled rumours that he is in exile vowing to come back home soon after being cleared by his medical team, despite threats of arrest by the State.

Sikhala left Zimbabwe soon after his release from Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison where he had been incarcerated for 595 days in a case which has been widely described as politically-motivated.

While out of the country, Sikhala delivered a speech at the United Nations Human Rights and Democracy Summit in Geneva last month, chronicling the deplorable state of human rights in the country and how he had endured 595 days of pre-trial incarceration.
