Sweet Justice: Praise Kagande’s Shoplifting Saga
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Praise Kagande from Karoi was sentenced by Karoi Magistrates’ Court for stealing two packets of sweets. He stole two packets valued at US$7. On June 26, 2024, Kagande entered Harare Inn Wholesale under false pretences and stole the sweets, which were later found concealed in his bag.
Little did Kagande know, however, that his every move had been caught on the establishment’s eagle-eyed CCTV surveillance system. Security swiftly descended upon Kagande as he made his exit, uncovering the pilfered sweets concealed within his bag.
For his illicit indulgence, Kagande was handed a four-month sentence, with two months of the sentence suspended for five years.
The remaining sentence, somewhat mercifully, was suspended on the condition that Kagande dedicate 70 hours of his time to community service.
