Job Sikhala Makes U-Turn, To Contest In 2018 Elections

Job Sikhala has announced that he is running for the parliamentary seat in Zengeza despite stating that he will not run for any political seat. 

In September last year, the former St Mary’s MP said he was not feeling “motivated to contest for public office” in the coming elections and that he believes “in giving others an opportunity to serve as well.” At the time the outspoken Sikhala who re-joined MDC-T after leaving and forming his MDC-99 faction said he will concentrate on his blossoming law practice and family projects. Said Sikhala:

The truth is that I am not feeling motivated to contest for public office because I think I don’t have anything new to offer after I have served the constituency of St. Mary’s for two terms. I am the strong believer in democracy and also a strong believer in giving others an opportunity to serve as well.

So far St. Mary’s has had an opportunity to have two Members of Parliament since 2008, the last time I served my second term. This provides the people with new ideas and impetus to move forward. I am not a student of permanent features in public offices and in politics. People must learn to come and go. Why becoming a permanent feature as if Zimbabwe is short of people of capacity.

If the truth is to be said, I am enjoying my law and it is keeping me and my family very well and happy. Projects at our family farm in Gutu are blossoming. My small business enterprises are not a burden. Politics is not a profession. It is public service. Service that must not be seen from a selfish point of view. Give others a chance
