Sikhala allies give up on court processes

IMPRISONED Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) politician Job Sikhala’s allies yesterday said they had given up on the legal route to secure his release, claiming the Judiciary is captured.

On Wednesday, the High Court dismissed Sikhala’s fourth application for bail, adding to many similar applications that have been turned down at the lower courts.

Yesterday, Sikhala, who is the Zengeza West MP and CCC vice-chairperson, failed to appear for trial before magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa.
