<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2024/01/24/job-sikhala-and-godfrey-sithole-found-guilty-of-public-violence-incitement/">The recent conviction</a> of Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole for incitement of public violence has generated diverse reactions. The duo was found guilty when it appeared before Harare magistrate Tafadzwa Miti on January 24, 2024. Pre-sentencing hearing has been scheduled for January 29 for Sikhala and Sithole’s lawyers to persuade he court to issue a less severe sentence. 
The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA) confirmed Job Sikhala’s conviction and announced the subsequent hearing. In a brief statement issued shortly after the conviction, the NPA said:
<blockquote>
Job Sikhala has been convicted of inciting public violence. The case has been postponed to Monday the 29th of January 2024 for a pre-sentencing hearing at the Harare Magistrates Court.
</blockquote>
Morgen Komichi, a senior official in the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), called for public attendance on the sentencing day, highlighting the significant support Sikhala received during the trial.
Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono said he was not surprised by the verdict, viewing it as political persecution by the current regime. He said:
<blockquote>
As expected, the regime has convicted Job Sikhala of inciting public violence! His defence lawyers will argue their mitigation points on the 29th of January. This is just persecution of political opponents by this deplorable regime! It also means that Job Sikhala will remain in jail until the day of sentencing when he will know whether he will be released on account of bail time served or whether the regime will continue persecuting him. 
</blockquote>
Clifton, a Twitter user, shared a similar sentiment, claiming that the magistrate, Tafadzwa Miti, had previously referred to Sikhala as an incorrigible criminal, despite the fact that he had not been convicted before. Clifton said:
<blockquote>
I’m not surprised that Tafadzwa Miti who is basically a Zanupf activist masquerading as a magistrate decided that Job Sikhala was guilty. This is the same person who once called Sikhala an incorrigible criminal and yet he had never been convicted of any crime.
</blockquote>
Another Twitter user, Benard Marima, suggested executive interference, speculating that Sikhala’s comments criticiing President Mnangagwa’s family had influenced the judges’ decision to keep him in jail. Marima said:
<blockquote>
The biggest issue here is that Job Sikhala said “Zimbabwe doesn’t belong to Mnangagwa’s mom,it belongs to all Zimbabweans,That video was played to mnangagwa and he was so furious. So all thoz judges as instructed they have no choice bt to keep skhala in jail. Zvinotaurwa
</blockquote>
Public reactions on social media showcased a mix of empathy, frustration, and calls for justice. Many expressed sympathy for Sikhala and his family, emphasizing the need for change in the country. Some users questioned the fairness of the justice system and its treatment of political opponents, while others saw the conviction as an attack on democracy and human rights. The case has drawn attention to the issue of politicians being criminalized in Zimbabwe, with calls to free political prisoners and ensure a fair justice system.

Reactions To Job Sikhala And Godfrey Sithole's Conviction For Incitement Of Public Violence

Jailed Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) vice chairman, Job Sikhala, wants Harare Magistrate Tafadzwa Miti, who is presiding over his trial, to excuse herself from the case, alleging.
Sikhala is accused of inciting public violence that rocked the Nyatsime area in June this year following the murder of CCC activist Moreblessing Ali.
He is jointly charged with Godfrey Sithole, who is out on bail.
Sikhala was on Wednesday denied bail by Miti, who said the Zengeza West MP was arrested 63 times before and was therefore an incorrigible and unrepentant person, without respect for the law.
This is despite the fact that the Sikhala was never convicted on all of his previous arrests.
Sikhala and Sithole’s trial was supposed to start on Thursday, but the former, who is in pre-trial detention at Chikurubi Maximum Prison, raised concerns resulting in the case being rolled over to 7 December for a ruling. Sikhala lawyer, Jeremiah Bamu:
<blockquote>
We are aware this matter is scheduled for trial commencement. However, we have instructions to seek recusal of the magistrate from this matter.
This is respectfully because of the apprehension that the accused may not receive a fair trial if proceedings were to continue before you.
</blockquote>
Bamu said he will submit a detailed written application by Monday next week.
Meanwhile, Sithole said he will abide by the decision of the court as recusal does not affect him. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/jailed-mp-job-sikhala-trial-fails-to-kick-off-as-he-seeks-recusal-of-biased-magistrate/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>
