Jameson Hotel employee in Harare has been arrested and charged for stealing two yoghurts and sausages worth $4.
Primrose Shoko (31) appeared before Harare magistrate charged with theft. He was represented by a lawyer Ephraim Ndlovu.
The lawyer applied for the matter not to be prosecuted saying the value of the goods he allegedly stole was not worth for the court to waste its time on.
The magistrate Mugwagwa in her ruling said the value of the stolen goods was not an issue but what was important was the employer-employee relationship.
The court was told that on May 11 this year Shoko was at work when Roy Mutsikwi a controller at the hotel heard the foot steps in the cold room and investigated only to find AShoko holding yoghurt and the sausages.
He then asked what was he doing in the cold room since he was not allowed to be there. Shoko failed to answer and this led to his arrest.
