Relatives fear for Sikhala’s life as he spends 84th day in prison; wife says he’s ‘too weak to even stand up, let alone walk’
Incarcerated Zengesa West MP Job Sikhala
The family of Zimbabwean opposition stalwart Job “Wiwa” Sikhala fears his life hangs in the balance as his health continues to deteriorate in the infamous Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.
Sikhala’s relatives fear he might die in jail after reports emerged on Saturday that he was allegedly poisoned in prison.
He has been behind bars since 14 June after violence broke out in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza, at the funeral of Moreblessing Ali, a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) activist allegedly killed by Zanu PF activist Pius Mukandi Jamba.
The State charged Sikhala with inciting unrest and defeating the course of justice. He has been denied bail five times.
