Update On "Free Job Sikhala" GoFundMe Fundraising Initiative
The initiative had as of 09:25 on 13 August 2022 raised £5 346 out of the targeted £6 000 which is meant to be donated to the families of detained Job Sikhala, and Godfrey Sithole. of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Sikhala and his colleagues were arrested in June over the 14 June violence that erupted in Nyatsime during the funeral wake of slain CCC activist Moreblessing Ali. They deny the charges.
They have been in jail since then with the Magistrates and High Court denying them bail.
The fundraising initiative was initiated by Estelle Adams-Stone who says the money will be used to take care of the duo’s families while the legislators are in detention. Adams-Stone says in the plea for assistance:
Zimbabwean Members of Parliament Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole have been in prison without trial at Zimbabwe’s Chikurubi Maximum Prison.

The State leveled bogus or trumped-up charges against them when they were arrested for demanding Justice for an opposition supporter Moreblessing Ali who was killed by a ruling party thug.
Their families are struggling with day-to-day financial needs because they need fuel to go and see them daily.
They also need to buy them food since they can’t eat prison food for fear of being poisoned.
Zimbabweans are asking their opposition leaders to lead from the front, however, they are up against a regime that doesn’t respect the constitution.
This is our time to support them as not doing so makes others fearful of what would happen to their families if they are arrested on bogus or trumped-up charges.
Meanwhile, the bail hearing for the duo on their first charge of inciting the June 14 Nyatsime violence has been rolled to Tuesday 16 August 2022 for oral bail submissions.
