Sikhala ‘poisoned’ in Chikurubi cell

THE Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) yesterday called the family of incarcerated Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) legislator Job Sikhala asking for urgent help over suspected poisoning in his prison cell at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.

Sikhala, who has been arrested on several occasions, was said to be vomiting and the prison officials summoned the legislator’s family to bring a private doctor for urgent treatment.

The Zengeza West legislator’s aide Frederick Masarirevhu told NewsDay that Sikhala’s wife was called by prison officials over a suspected case of poisoning.
