BULAWAYO businessman, Davis Muhambi, yesterday appeared in court for allegedly pointing a firearm at National Blood Services of Zimbabwe Bulawayo spokesperson, Mr Sifundo Ngwenya, with whom he almost had a collision at an intersection in Mzilikazi suburb.
Muhambi (37) of Burnside suburb and a United Milling company director nearly rammed into Mr Sifundo Ngwenya’s car that was at an intersection in Mzilikazi suburb.
He appeared before Western Commonage magistrate Mr Lungile Ncube facing a charge of pointing a firearm and was remanded out of custody to March 21 for trial.
The prosecutor Mr Kenneth Shava said on January 20 at about 12PM, Ngwenya was driving a white Nissan Double cab along Luveve Road.
“While Mr Ngwenya was driving through Nguboyenja robot intersection near Mzilikazi service station, Muhambi, who was driving a Mercedes Benz, came speeding along Ngcebetsha Road from the direction of Mzilikazi and turned into Luveve Road. The two cars nearly had a collision.
“The two exchanged insults and they continued to do so as they drove side by side,” said Mr Shava.
Muhambi produced a pistol and pointed it at Mr Ngwenya. He later drove off leaving Mr Ngwenya behind, the court heard.
The matter was reported to the police leading to Muhambi’s arrest.
The firearm was recovered. — @LissahMangena
