This was heard at the initial appearance of Diana Hove (23) when she briefly
appeared before Western Commonage magistrate, Mr Shepherd Munjanja, for
contravening section 113 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act
Chapter 9:23, theft.
She pleaded guilty and was remanded out of custody to 29 June. Mr Jabulani
Sibanda, for the State, told the court that on 9 June this year the complainant,
Livingstone Gwese (29), left for work in the morning after having a serious
misunderstanding with his wife.
Hove later on took advantage of his absence to steal most of the household
property including a bed, television, wardrobe, kitchen tables and blankets.
Upon returning from work, Gwese discovered that his wife was not at home and
most of their property was missing.
The court heard that the accused left some photos she had taken with a former
boyfriend.  Gwese then inquired about Hove’s whereabouts from his neighbours
who told him that his wife had taken the property to her relative’s house.
The property was valued at US$475 and most of it was recovered. Gwese then
reported the matter to Nkulumane Police Station leading to his wife’s arrest.
