harare – the arrest of zimbabwean opposition leader job sikhala in south africa was part of a calculated plan to associate him with a series of recent bombings in harare, according to isaya ndawana, spokesperson for the national democratic working group (ndwg). ndawana told channel africa that sikhala’s arrest on friday night in pretoria was “a planned thing” designed to portray him as the mastermind behind attacks targeting venues linked to activists opposing president emmerson mnangagwa’s proposed term extension beyond 2028. “before the onset of the press conference at sapes trust in belgravia on 28 october, there was a bombing in the early hours of that day, and concurrently, a house in highfields was also bombed,” ndawana said.
“this was planned to make it appear that honourable job sikhala was responsible.” he claimed the explosives found in sikhala’s car were planted to strengthen that narrative. “we cannot rule out power play because honourable sikhala cannot be such a foolish man to carry a load of explosives knowingly that it’s illegal,” he added. “it was a planned thing to make sure that activities which were carried out back home were linked to him,” ndawana said. opposition firebrand job sikhala arrested in south africa…nov 7, 202555,961 opposition firebrand job sikhala arrested in south africa… job sikhala offers us$20 000 for information on people who…sep 7, 202535,140 job sikhala offers us$20 000 for information on people who… ‘lying lions of zimbabwe shall rise’: job…aug 13, 202531,737
