Sikhala freedom bid now lost cause

DETAINED Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) lawmaker Job Sikhala’s freedom bid is turning out to be a lost cause after Harare magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka yesterday denied him bail for the umpteenth time.

Chakanyuka, instead ruled that his trial will proceed next week on Monday.

Sikhala was denied bail in absentia on the matter where he is facing a charge of inciting violence after the murder of opposition activist Moreblessing Ali.
