Opposition leader Job Sikhala has announced a US$20 000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the perpetrators behind the bombing of his house last weekend while his children were inside.
Sikhala, who heads the pressure group National Democratic Working Group, said the money was raised by his international and diaspora supporters in response to what he described as a "terrorist attack" on his home.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, August 30, 2025, while Sikhala was in South Africa attending the launch of his biography, Footprints in the Chains: The Life Story of Job Sikhala.
"After inspecting the devastating damage done on my house and my properties through the terrorist attack done on the morning hours of Saturday 30th August 2025 in my absence when I was in SA for the launch of my biography book Footprints in the Chains: The Life Story of Job Sikhala, a reward of US$20 000 raised by our international friends and the diaspora is availed to anyone who will provide the information leading to the identity of the perpetrators of this heinous crime who wanted to kill my children," Sikhala said in a statement.
He added that the identity of anyone who comes forward will be kept strictly confidential.
Sikhala urged whistleblowers to contact him directly via WhatsApp or direct message at +263 77 375 6658.
Police are yet to issue a public statement on the attack.
