Allegations are that on January 28 this year Nokhuthula unlawfully entered Charlotee Sotwa’s premise by opening an unlocked door and stealing a Hurricane smart phone.
At around 11:00am, Sotwa left her door unlocked with her Hurricane smart phone on a charger inside her house.

Nokhuthula got to Sotwa’s house where she opened the door, entered, stole a Hurricane smart phone, and went away.
On return, Sotwa discovered the theft and reported the matter to police leading to Nokhuthula’s arrest.
However, the phone valued at $810 could not be recovered.
Nokhuthula allegedly sold the stolen phone to third party who could not be located.
She was also ordered to pay $810 to Sotwa before February 28.
