Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) leader Douglas Mwonzora was left with mud on the face after his visit to Chikurubi Maximum prison to see Legislator Job Sikhala was declined.
According to Witness Dube, Mwonzora sought authority from the Justice ministry in line with government policy which requires prominent persons to seek approval before visiting high profile inmates.
“Please be advised that MDC President Douglas Mwonzora has finally gotten the authority to visit incarcerated Chitungwiza lawmaker, Job Wiwa Sikala. We lodged an application with the Ministry of Justice responsible for prisons as per government policy that all prominent persons must do so prior to visiting a high profile inmate, and our request has been approved.
“President Mwonzora is expected to be with Job Sikala anytime from 12:30pm,” said Dube.
However this failed to happen as the family lawyer Freddy Masarirevhu noted that the incarcerated legislator was not excited to receive visits from other quotas other than his general citizens and members of his party (CCC)
“Hon. @JobSikhala1 will NOT meet Sen. Mwonzora. He does not want any unsolicited visits from any quotas OTHER than the general citizens of Zimbabwe and members of his party the @CCCZimbabwe. He declined the request 2 months ago for security reasons”
“He was informed of a meeting allegedly held by Sen. Mwonzora and members of the CIO in Mt Pleasant months ago. He is NOT meeting him. Senior officers at ZPCS informed him of the proposed visit and he declined instantly,” said Masarirevhu,”
Sikhala fell seriously ill in prison this month and suspected he had been poisoned. He has since recovered. Masarirevu said prison authorities had examined Sikhala and taken samples, supposedly to establish the cause of his sudden illness.
