DJ ZINHLE'S former employee, Thobile Malatji, appeared in the Hatfield Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 23 May.

The case was postponed to 14 June for mediation.

The 24-year-old, who worked at DJ Zinhle’s store, was arrested on 12 January 2023 for theft.

She is accused of stealing R96 000 worth of products.

NPA spokeswoman Lumka Mahanjana said: "She was released on bail of R5 000 on 13 January 2023."

According to a police report seen by Daily Sun, the Umlilo hitmaker caught the  employee at her Era By DJ Zinhle store in Menlyn, Tshwane, stealing from her. 

The report reveals that the DJ suspected that the employee was stealing from her.

"The complainant alleged that she employed (the suspect) at her store, then she started to become suspicious that the business wasn't running well in terms of profit," the report read. 

Furthermore, the report indicates that Zinhle tried to set a trap to catch the suspected worker.

"She then went with her friends to the store, and they bought some items. Later, she went back to the store and asked to see the money for the day, and she failed to produce. She gave her R200, then she confessed she took it," it read.

They also found some stolen items at the employee's house. 

"They also went to her place where they found the items from the store," the report said. 

 The store was opened in October 2022 in Tshwane.

This is the second incident involving DJ Zinhle and an employee who allegedly stole from her. 

Last year, City Press reported that the DJ had opened a case against her former employee who allegedly stole R500 000 from her business account. 

Gauteng police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo confirmed that the suspect was arrested.
