In 2015, Mr Sikamo assumed the role of Country Manager of Zambia for the Metorex Group and Chairman of the Chibuluma Board.

Mr Sikamo had been receiving treatment in a private hospital in Johannesburg earlier in 2019, and later returned home to Kalulushi. He returned to Johannesburg in May 2019 for a surgical procedure and, after a period of hospitalisation, succumbed due to postoperative complications on the June 27, 2019.
Mr Sikamo is survived by his wife, Lindiwe Sikamo and six children. The Sikamo family will announce the details of his funeral arrangements once his mortal remains have been repatriated back to Zambia.
