Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) MP for Zengeza West, Job Sikhala, has written a letter to members of the public appreciating the love they are showing to him as he remains incarcerated at Chikurubi Maximum Prison. Sikhala was arrested and detained for allegedly inciting violence that was recorded in Nyatsime in the funeral wake of CCC\u2019s slain activist Moreblessing Ali. In a letter seen by Pindula News, Sikhala said he was in high spirits. Pindula News presents the letter in full below:<\/p>\n

Dear Zimbabweans,<\/p>\n

We would like to thank you all dear Zimbabweans for the demonstration of love, care and unbridled concern for the pain we are going through. We feel your love even when we are under incarceration here at Chikurubi Maximum Prison.<\/p>\n

We are pleased that besides members of our own political party CCC, all Zimbabweans of different political, social and ideological persuasion are standing with us.<\/p>\n

Although I am going through difficult moments at present with the escalated persecution of my own and my other colleagues here in prison with me, be grateful beloved compatriots that we are all in high spirits.<\/p>\n

I went through an unexplainable illness, I am on the road to recovery, please pray for us.<\/p>\n

Standing for the weak and downtrodden in society as I did for Moreblessing Ali and many others is my God\u2019s is calling.<\/p>\n

My reward is in heaven, I do it selflessly, and sometimes I end up asking myself why my conscience is always triggered to stand for the predicament of other people. I was just born like that by my mother and father.<\/p>\n
