FORMER Zengeza West legislator, Job Sikhala has been convicted following the Magistrates Court ruling in a case he is being charged with inciting public violence.
One of the cases he is facing involving communicating falsehoods was postponed leaving the most crucial one which determined his freedom.
Harare Magistrate Tafadzwa Miti ruled in favor of conviction. He was jointly charged with CCC MP Godferey Sithole who was also convicted.
Sikhala has been in detention since his arrest in June 2022 accused of mobilising opposition supporters to riot and avenge the death of murdered Citizens Coalition for Change activist, Moreblessing Ali.
The former legislator has had his appeals to be released on bail turned down countless times, with the courts describing him as an unrepentant repeat offender capable of committing more crime.
Yesterday, the Job Sikhala Solidarity Movement (JSSM) rallied ordinary Zimbabweans and other stakeholders to besiege the Harare Magistrates Court during his bail ruling.
Details on sentencing are yet to be availed.
