DJ Zinhle’s former staffer, Thabile Malatjie, will face theft charges.
In January, the 23-year-old employee of the Era By DJ Zinhle store in Menlyn was arrested after the businesswoman discovered she had been destroying the business.
Malatjie appeared in Hatfield Magistrates Court and requested mediation to address the situation, but her request was denied.
According to Lumka Mahanjana, a spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the accused was engaged at Era by DJ Zinhle and stole merchandise for an unspecified 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.
