There was drama at Guqukani village in Mphoeng where an 18-year-old girl was caught wearing stolen clothes by the owner.

Nyathi was dragged to Plumtree magistrates courts by Velaphi Ngwazemba (50) after she broke into his house and stole goods worth ZAR 910.

She appeared before magistrate Mr Joshua Nembaware who remanded her in custody to July 1.

The state led by Selestine Madziwa alleged on May 29 Gwazemba locked his house in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
