Fungai Jachi Court Reporter
A thieving18-year-old prostitute appeared in court on Friday for allegedly stealing $2 600 from her client, who is a tobacco farmer.

Tanyaradzwa Kapange was charged with theft and appeared before Mbare magistrate Ms Gladys Moyo. She admitted to the allegations.

Kapange was remanded in custody to today for sentence.

She told the court that she had stolen from Freedom Chimukuyu (33) during the night because she had noticed that he had a lot of cash on him.

“I knew that he was a tobacco farmer and that he had made sales that day so, I figured where his money was and I stole it,” he said.

Facts are that on May 26 around 21:00 hours at Pamview Tobacco Industries in Glen Norah, Chimukuyu took Kapange to a booking room.

The two agreed to spend the night together and Chimukuyu was to pay $10 for Kapange’s services.

The court heard that Chimukuyu fell asleep and Kapange stole $2 600 from his trousers pocket and ran away.

Chimukuyu reported the matter to the police leading to Kapange’s arrest.

Mr Stanley Musekiwa prosecuted.
