Deputy Prosecutor General Mr Micheal Reza has told the court that all the exhibits tendered by Tendai Biti in his assault case were irrelevant.
Mr Reza said this while cross-examining Biti in his application for referral of the case to the Apex Court.
Biti is facing charges of manhandling a Zimbabwean investor, Mrs Tatiana Aleshina, at the Harare Magistrates Court.
During cross-examination Mr Reza said Biti, in his application, mentioned about a commission which was formed by former Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo, which has nothing to do with an assault case.
He put it to Biti that all his submissions about Pokugara Properties and the Airport Road agreement were not meant for the court, but he was addressing another audience elsewhere.
Harare magistrate Mrs Vongai Muchuchuti deferred the matter to January 30 next year for ruling.
During the previous sittings, Biti allegedly made false claims that the complainant’s company had been illegally given more than 200 000 hectares of land in Harare while in actual fact Harare as a whole is only 94 000 hectares.
This prompted the complainant to respond through a press statement exposing Biti’s fabrications.
