A 23-YEAR-OLD domestic worker yesterday told the court that her employer keeps semen in a wooden plate as well as used and unused condoms wrapped in some cloths in her bedroom.
Patience Tsamba, from Chipfatsura Village in Bocha, made the startling revelations when she appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Barbra Chimboza on allegations of stealing R20 000, P5 000 and Eu40 from her former employer, Christina Gwizo, 32.
Patience was arrested along with Benjamin Ranga.
Patience alleges that her employer would fondle her before they retired to bed since December last year when she employed her.
She said she first suspected her employer had something "fishy" on the day she resumed her duties at her place of residence at No. 53 Dziva Road, Zengeza 1.
Patience said she was not allowed to enter Gwizo's bedroom and was supposed to take a bath every morning.
Christina, who is fondly known as Banana in her neighbourhood, even had the guts to tell the court that she possesses some cloths she uses for rituals when ever she goes to "work".
Banana also told the court that she does not sleep in her bedroom but uses her sitting room instead.
Prosecutor Loveti Muringwa had it that on January 2 this year, Christina Gwizo wrapped her money with a cloth and placed it on the table near her bed.
She then retired to bed (in the sitting room) and locked herself inside.
The following morning, she noticed that her money had gone missing which prompted her to look for Patience but the latter was nowhere to be found.
Christina then phoned her uncle, Luke Kamurayi Machokoto, who resides near Patience's homestead in Bocha.
Luke then tracked Patience and caught up with her before she implicated Ranga.
The court heard that Patience had given some of the money to Ranga to buy some groceries valued at US$150.
The court also heard that Ranga's wife, at a certain point brought US$500 that was intended to restitute Christina.
Prosecutor Muringwa also told the court that R600 was recovered from Patience and Ranga.
Magistrate Chimboza remanded Patience in custody to January 23 for trial continuation.
