DJ Zinhle’s former employee named Thabile Malatjie will stand trial for theft.
In January, the 23-year-old who worked at Era By DJ Zinhle store in Menlyn was arrested after the businesswoman found out she’s been eating the business.
Malatjie appeared before the Hatfield Magistrates Court and she applied for mediation to resolve the matter, but it was rejected.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said it is alleged that the accused was employed at Era by DJ Zinhle and stole stock worth an unverified amount of money.
“Malatjie was arrested on 12 January 2023, after the police searched and found stock in her property. However, she was subsequently released on R5000 bail, and the matter was postponed to 24 July 2023 for trial,” Mahanjana said.
