School girl arrested for stealing from boyfriend

A Form Four pupil at Sokukhazi High School in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, has appeared in court facing charges of allegedly breaking into her boyfriend's house and tearing his passport.
The court was told that the 19-year-old pupil, name withheld for legal reasons, wanted to punish Mr Farai Phiri who is a commuter omnibus driver for cheating on her.
The two told the court that they have since separated because of the incident.
She pleaded guilty to a count of forcibly gaining entry into another person's house and malicious damage to property when she appeared before Bulawayo provincial magistrate Mr Abednico Ndebele.
She was lucky to escape jail term, as the magistrate warned and discharged her, telling her that "we will not forget that you were in this court."
This was after her lawyer, Mr Costa Dube, of Mcijo, Dube and Partners submitted that she would not be able to pay a fine or replace the passport because she was still in school.
Mr Phiri, age not given but residing in Burnside told the court that he wanted her to replace his passport because he could no longer use it.
The pupil, who resides in Hillside, said she tore two pages from Mr Phiri's passport because they had agreed that she would "do anything" to him if she caught him with another woman.
"He broke my virg*nity when I was in Form Two when we had sex and we made an agreement that if I caught him with another girlfriend, I would do anything to him," she told the court.
Asked by the magistrate why she allowed Phiri to sleep with her when she was still a minor, the pupil said he had promised her "heaven on earth."
The State's case was that on 7 August, the pupil went to Mr Phiri's house and allegedly forcibly gained entry through a window.
While inside, she allegedly took his passport and tore two centre pages which she destroyed. A report was made to the police leading to her arrest.
