Witness nails Biti

THE trial of CCC vice-president Tendai Biti on an assault charge resumed at the Harare Magistrates Court on Friday with former Pokugara Properties general manager Michael Van Blerk claiming that the opposition legislator leapt at businesswoman Tatiana Aleshina threatening to physically harm her.

The alleged incident happened at the Harare Magistrates Court after Aleshina had attended her employee’s court case in December 2020.

Van Klerk told the court that he jumped to Aleshina’s rescue  as Biti charged towards her, shouting obscenities.
