Sikhala’s lawyers ‘giving up’

LAWYERS representing Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) legislators Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole yesterday appeared to throw in the towel after the magistrates court turned down yet another application for bail.

The two have been in detention since June charged with incitement to violence alongside 13 other CCC activists following violent skirmishes at the funeral of murdered opposition activist Moreblessing Ali in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza.

Their lawyers Jeremiah Bhamu and Beatrice Mtetwa, told magistrate Taurai Manuwere that it was clear their clients were never going to get a favourable ruling.
