MDC99 president Job Sikhala on Sunday lost a Mitsubishi Chariot party vehicle to robbers in Johannesburg, South Africa, as he was addressing a press conference at a hotel.
The suspected robbers reportedly phoned him moments later, demanding R10 000 before they could release the vehicle, belonging to deputy secretary general Daniel Dimbo.
Sikhala went on a diplomatic offensive last week in Johannesburg, meeting representatives of embassies, Zimbabweans in the Diaspora and business community. He was driven around in two cars, a white Mercedes-Benz and the Chariot.
Sikhala had told journalists during the Press conference that his party would roll out mass action North Africa-style in an effort to "overthrow" President Robert Mugabe, who has been in power since independence in 1980.
Sikhala was Monday still holed up in Braamfontein as the police carried out investigations.
In an unrelated issue, The trial of MDC99 leader and former St Mary's MP Job Sikhala on allegations of flouting the Immigration Act, has been postponed to February 7, to allow the defence that had not been served with the state papers, to prepare for the trial.
