Opposition MDC Youth League has openly pledged its support for the under-fire Job Sikhala. This comes hours after the party’s national deputy spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka announced that Sikhala’s “we will overthrow President Mnangagwa’s government before 2023” remarks did not represent the position of the party.
Sikhala, was yesterday summoned by the police over the remarks he made at a rally in Bikita over the weekend.
The party was criticised on social media for ditching him and citizens have since launched #IStandWithJob in support of Sikhala.
The MDC Youth spokesperson, Stephen Chuma, has said that he finds nothing treasonous in Sikhala’s remarks. Chuma said:
The MDC Youth Assembly is riled by the state and ZANU PF’s overtures to flagrantly and wantonly disregard the right to freedom of expression through the ill thought move to charge MDC National Vice Chair, Job Sikhala with treason.
Having listened and re-listened to Honorable Sikhala’s Bikita rally statements, we found it shocking that the panic stricken military junta intends to slap our National Vice Chair with treason charges.
It is not a secret that as a party our end game which is in sync with the people’s agenda is to remove a failed ZANU PF government from power.
The bottom line is that people are sick and tired of the whole ZANU PF system and henceforth its removal or “overthrow” through constitutional means is long overdue!
What Honorable Sikhala said is just a mirror reflection of the sentiments of the ordinary people in the country.

A HANDFUL OF MDC-ALLIANCE SUPPORTERS ARE THE SICK AND TIRED OF ZANU-PF FAILED GOVERNMENT….THE MAJORITY OF ZIMBABWEANS ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY ZANU-PF….THESE MACDONALD TRUMP PUPPIES THE MDC-ALLIANCE PARTY DOESN’T HAVE A DIRECTION WHERE THEY WANT TO TAKE ZIMBABWE TO…
2 million pple cant be a handfull unless you do not understand what it means “handfull”
it is suprising that there are people out there who still think Zimbabweans like zanu-PF and it politics yet almost a quarter zim population lives outside the zim boarders , Its only someone who is in the pocket of the so called Zanu-PF grave train who loves them
The little boy is misled not to believe that what he calls people ,the majority,are the ones who gave power to ZANU PF.They are fed up with vivid saboteors
ZANUPF has less than 1 million card carrying members. So other people who voted for ZANUPF or were purported to have voted for ZANUPF were lured into
doing so thinking the new dispensation was indeed new. Given what these prople now know right now few people would vote for ZANUPF if a general ejection was held tomorrow. We overthrew a constitutionally electected government by force of arms in your opinion who commited a crime of treason the one who threatens to overthrow or the one who actually overthrew a constitutionally elected government? Since when has it become a crime to loudly wish an overbearing administration ceases to exist by 2023? Popular peaceful civil disobedience can overthrow an incompetent overbearing government . What’s treasonous about this? We have seen this circus before the only difference is the clowns have changed but the outcome will be the same. We have a propensity to create heroes and matyres out of thin air by chasing trivialities while the country burns. It’s stupid stuff like this which keeps us on international news for the wrong reasons. A nation that cannot learn from it’s past mistakes has no future.
Yaaaa it’s good to demand our liberty but we must be filled with courage . MDC Zimbabwe sometimes lacks clarity and strategies ,in my opinion hatichade kuitiswa .daikuna someone very strong afoma another political party which has people at heart we are suffering every day but we voted for them since 2000 that’s booshit
Fight about yo economic problem not politics
