Harare Judge Dismisses Sikhala, Sithole's Bail Application Citing Fears of Public Disorderr, Committing Similar OffensesA Harare High Court judge has dismissed a bail application filed by two Citizens Coalition for Change lawmakers accused of inciting violence. In a tweet, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights said, “Hon. Sikhala & Hon. Sithole will remain incarcerated at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison after Justice Mungwari dismissed their bail appeal after ruling that if released on bail, the two are likely to disturb public order or undermine public order or security.” Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole’s lawyers - Jeremiah Bamu and Alec Muchadehama - claim that the charges laid against the two were created by the state. The state claims that Sikhala uttered remarks that incited violence in Nyatsime, Beatrice, at a memorial service of slain Citizens Coaltion for Change member, Moreblessing Ali. Court documents indicate that Sikhala allegedly urged Zimbabweans to avenge Ali’s murder while Sithole is said to have participated in an event that incited violence. The state claims that Sithole allegedly organized transport for CCC members who attacked Zanu PF activists in Nyatsime.
