to Noshio Motors director Paul Westwood after allegedly seizing shares worth more than US$1 million in the firm, will be delivered next month.
Mliswa, who is represented by Mr Charles Chinyama yesterday, appeared before Regional magistrate Mr Morgen Nemadire who deferred the judgement to May 27.
Judgment in the matter was supposed to be passed yesterday.
However, Mr Nemadire said he had not finished writing the judgment.
Mliswa is alleged to have said he could make Westwood “disappear” and hired bouncers to man Noshio’s premises in Msasa.
It is the State’s case that on December 18, 2009 Westwood was at the company premises when Mliswa and Nigel Godknows Murambwa arrived.
Mliswa allegedly claimed ownership of the company saying his take-over was in line with Government’s indigenisation policies.
Mliswa, the State claims, said he now held 51 percent of the firm and when Westwood resisted this, the accused threatened him with death.
He allegedly told Westwood he would never see his family again and then went on to tell workers he was now in charge.
It is also alleged that Mliswa began to send threatening text messages to the complainant.
The State says in January 2010, Mliswa used his cellphone (number 0912 572 504) to send a message to Westwood (011 202 755) which read: “Hi and hapi new year . . . am disappointed in your approach in dealing with any issues which u feel need remedy . . .
“Why cant u just tok to me as we had agreed. I suggest u stick 2 my advice Paul b4 its 2 late . . . plenty skeletons in your wardrobe, warn u . . . stop it and nw!”
