MDC deputy chairperson and Zengeza west legislator Job Sikhala who is facing allegations of subverting a constitutional government has been further remanded to the 26th August.
Sikhala is out on bail.
Through his lawyers, Aleck Muchadehama and others, the defence counsel made an application for the refusal of remand, arguing that there is no reasonable suspicion that Sikhala had committed an offence but the state opposed the application which was subsequently dismissed by Magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa at Bikita Magistrates Court.
The Zengeza west legislator is facing charges of contravening section 22 (2) (a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act (Chapter 9:23) emanating from utterances he made while addressing an MDC rally in Bikita recently.
