However, the politician was challenging his arrest, but Magistrate Ngoni Nduna dismissed his application against placement on remand.<\/p>\n

Sikhala\u2019s lawyers, Harrison Nkomo and Jeremiah Bamu also argued there was no basis for placing their client on remand as he was being charged with an invalid offence.<\/p>\n

However, appearing for the state, Lancelot Mutsokoti argued the charge Sikhala is facing is existent and should be place on remand for publishing falsehoods.<\/p>\n

Also charged with Sikhala for communicating falsehoods are MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere and journalist Hopewell Chin\u2019ono. They are also in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
