Harare businessman George Katsimberis has torn into Pokugara Properties Chief Operations Officer Tatiana Aleshina saying she is a dark individual with a record of state capture.
Katsimberis is embroiled in a number of court battles with Pokugara Properties owner Kenneth Raydon Sharpe followed a botched deal in which he lost over US$1 Million dollars.
In his High Court application against provincial magistrate Letwin Rwodzi’s ruling in which she dismissed Katsimberis appeal to have his alleged ‘fraud’ case referred to the Constitutional Court.
“The aforesaid Tatiana Aleshina is a dark individual who has literally openly admitted in other proceedings to various forms of state capture.
“I attach hereto marked Annexure K2 the opposing affidavit that was filed by this woman Tatiana Aleshina in which she essentially admits state capture. I attach hereto marked Annexure H3 the answering affidavit filed by Rusty Markham in respect of which he bemoans the corrosive State capture by Tatiana Aleshina,” said Katsimberis.
Katsimberis filed cases of malicious damage to property and perjury against Sharpe and City of Harare officials after they connived to destroy a show house built as part of a joint venture agreement.
According to Katsimberis, the joint venture agreement was expected to develop over 160 housing units at Pokugara Estate in Borrowdale.
Sharpe later developed cold feet despite the fact that Katsimberis had invested over US$1 Million into the deal.
