THE TRIAL DATE of a domestic worker who made startling revelations when she claimed that her boss kept semen in a wooden plate and used condoms in her wardrobe continues on February 6. Chitungwiza magistrate Barbra Chimboza set the new date after the State requested that some police details from Mutare be brought before the court to testify in the matter.

Patience Tsamba from Chipfatsura Village in Bocha made the startling revelations when she appeared at Chitungwiza court on allegations of stealing R20 000,   P5 000 and Eu40 from her former employer Christina Gwizo, 32.

Patience was arrested along with her friend only identified as Benjamin Ranga. Patience alleges that her employer would fondle her before they retire to bed since December last year when she employed her.

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 her sitting room) and locked herself from inside.

The following morning, she noticed that her money had gone missing which prompted her to look for Patience but she 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.
