The accused however did not deny the charges laid against him.
Upon mitigation, Nyamutambe pleaded for forgiveness.
Magistrate Mazhande found Nyamutambe guilty but let him walk free since he (the accused) did not waste the court’s time.
“You are charged guilty but I will take into consideration that you did not waste the court’s time and this is your first offence, “said magistrate Mazhande
Magistrate Mazhande also said she could not charge Nyamutsambe as he had already lost his job for stealing two maize cobs.
Nyamutsambe who lost his job after stealing two maize cobs had served at Southern Roses farm for 10 years.
