Prominent Zimbabwean opposition politician and lawyer Job Sikhala, 53, a well-known critic of president Emmerson Mnangagwa, will remain in police custody for three more days before applying for bail.
This follows his brief appearance at the Pretoria magistrates court on Monday, after he and his uncle, Alexander Ferrowst Thema, 78, were arrested on Friday for the alleged possession of explosives.
According to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana, the two accused were stopped by police while driving along Kgosi Mampuru Street on Thursday.
