Job Sikhala writes for us from jail
ZAge restriction to be imposed to bar Job Sikhala from contesting for Presidency in 2023

My arrest and that of Hopewell Chin’ono was predetermined. I have prepared this note, dear Zimbabweans after receiving solid intelligence tip offs. I would like to thank our people who made it possible for this article to be available to all of us.
The plot to keep myself, Hopewell Chin’ono, Jacob Ngarivhime and few others who have been put on Emmerson Mnangagwa’s hit list is grounded on false security and intelligence reports and analysis fed to the regime by some of its hilarious operatives. The regime is working on false intelligence feeds from its favour seeking operatives who plainly lie to the authorities about certain individuals. This is done to ingratiate themselves with the system to keep it under illusionary fears.
The intelligence reports on the table is that myself, Hopewell and others were planning a mass demonstration in January. This has been sold to the regime from December up to present. There was an anticipation of a demonstration organised by us which in all material facts is false and untrue.
The visit to SA recently by Hopewell Chin’ono was interpreted to mean financial mobilization for the demonstrations. Hopewell flew back to Zimbabwe on the 7th of January 2021. The regime strongly believed he had come with money for the mobilization of the illusionary demonstration.
The state had to spend no time except pouncing on us. There was no issue to allege against us, so they had to find every excuse to nab us.
Secondly, there is now a strong believe in the system that we pose the most dangerous threat to its very existence as they view us as a new generation of leaders who do not want to postpone the happiness and destiny of our people. Their view is that we want to drag Zimbabwe down the anarchy path which is stupid and demented mindset. Yes, the freedom of our people is as urgent as never before, but for them to form their own lie and run away with it as fact is stupidity of the highest order. Yes, Zimbabweans need freedom and their freedom has been postponed for a long, but never shall our tactics, strategies be determined by anyone.
It is so pathetic that a whole regime base its ways of how to run a state on rumours. This phase of our persecution is based on rumors and not on any substantial intelligence.
Shame to those who are being used in this dirty game. Ours is just love for our country and the happiness of its people. Nothing more or nothing less.
