Said Ngarivhume, "Let us unite for a period of nationwide protest for @JobSikhala1. If they throw the entire nation in prison let them do so. But we cannot stand idly as they persecute a fellow citizen for personal pleasure."
Sikhala was arrested on 14 June last year after violence broke out in Nyatsime, Chitungwizwa, at the funeral of Moreblessing Ali a CCC activist.
Ngarivhume himself is no stranger to being arrested and once was nabbed by police and accused of inciting Zimbabweans to revolt against President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government through unconstitutional means.
Sikhala has been denied bail more than 10 times.
