Bak Storage has case to answer in Mliswa’s $1,4m claim

Bak Storage’s bid seeking to have former Hurungwe West MP Temba Mliswa’s firm Saltlakes Holdings’ $1,4 million claim dismissed, last week went up in smoke after High Court judge Justice Amie Tsanga ruled the storage firm had a case to answer.

The former Warriors fitness trainer’s firm filed a claim against Bak Storage after his tobacco was allegedly destroyed by rain while in the firm’s custody sometime in 2009.

At some point, Bak Storage had filed a counter claim against Mliswa, arguing he had failed to pay storage in the sum of $90 000, but the matter was settled later after both parties agreed the storage fees counter-claimed were $34 000.
