PROCEEDINGS came to a standstill in court when a woman charged with theft of US$400 collapsed in the dock after being denied bail.
Constance Kazviyo (35), who was employed as a marketing officer at Emec Security Company, regained consciousness after court orderlies and prison officers applied first aid.
She then pleaded with the court to remand her out of custody to give her chance to look after her children saying she had separated with her husband. Kazviyo had admitted to theft charges when she appeared before Chitungwiza magistrate Mr Godfrey Unzemoyo. The woman's theatrics proved to be sufficient ground to earn her the relief she wanted after Mr Unzemoyo later considered granting her US$20 bail and remanded her to November 21 for sentencing.
Prosecutor Ms Concellia Maheya told the court that Kazviyo was employed by Emec Security Company as a marketing officer.
In turn she would get a 10 percent commission for every job she brought to the company. She then secured a job for the company at Mabamba premises, which entitled her to the 10 percent.
On October 7 this year, she went to the complex to collect the cash as usual and decided to pocket it.
After that she terminated her contract on the basis that the money was to compensate her outstanding salaries without following the company's regulations.
