MDC Alliance vice chairperson, Job Sikhala will spend another weekend behind bars after his bail appeal hearing was moved to the 26th of this month.
The case was postponed after the state received his record of proceedings late.
“The record from the Magistrates’ Court was only released yesterday (Thursday) in the afternoon and the State requested a postponement to enable them to file a response,” said Paida Saurombe who is representing Sikhala.
“We will file heads of argument this afternoon and we hope to have the State file its response on Monday,” he said.
Sikhala was arrested on January 9 at the Harare Magistrate’s Court where he was part of the legal team representing journalist Hopewell Chin’ono who is being accused of publishing falsehoods.
