"Job Sikhala: Challenging Zimbabwe's 'Crocodile'"

Job Sikhala, an opposition politician in Zimbabwe, has been sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence after spending 595 days in pre-trial detention. Known as "Wiwa" for his outspokenness and defiance of authority, Sikhala has faced numerous arrests and challenges in his 25-year political career. He has been a vocal critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ruling Zanu-PF party, and his recent release from prison has not dampened his determination to fight against injustice and tyranny in Zimbabwe.

"Mature Democracy Shines Through Zimbabwe's Disputed Election, Says President at Inauguration"

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who won disputed elections in August, declared the vote as a triumph over Western adversaries and a testament to the country's "mature democracy" during his inauguration speech.
