Zimbabwe: Madhuku - Sikhala and Sithole Are Now Victims of Failure By Their Political Party

University of Zimbabwe law professor, Lovemore Madhuku, has claimed that detained legislators Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole are victims of their own political party's decision to refuse to dialogue.

Madhuku, also leader of the opposition NCA party, said this in an interview with Citizens Voices Network.

He was commenting on the failure to secure bail by the Nyatsime 16 - all members of the Nelson Chamisa-led CCC who were arrested in June over political violence in Chitungwiza following the abduction and death of CC activist Moreblessing Ali.

Sikhala and Sithole have been denied bail pending trial on five occasions.
