The alleged threat made by businessman Peter-Paul Ngwenya that he would kill his former business associates is a fabrication, the defence argued on Thursday.

"The accused denies emphatically that he uttered the words that he 'would kill these dogs'. It's a concoction," said Ngwenya's lawyer, advocate Nqabayethu Buthelezi, during closing arguments in the Randburg Magistrate's Court.

Buthelezi said it was improbable that Ngwenya would issue a threat to kill Patel and Titi as he knew his limitations as stated in the protection order."The accused was conscious to the prohibitions of the protection order. Thus there is no escaping the conclusion that the alleged threats are a fabrication that was designed to get the accused arrested as part of the bigger existing fallout between the parties," Buthelezi argued.

If he wanted, Ngwenya could have gone to Patel and Ngwenya's offices as he was chair of MRC Media, Buthelezi argued. Buthelezi also argued that Ngwenya did not in anyway impair Titi's dignity by calling him a"QwaQwa k****r".
