A domestic worker was arrested after she allegedly stole more than R1 million in cash that her employer had won at a casino.
Nobukhosi Phakathi, 34, appeared in the Chatsworth Magistrates' Court last week on theft charges related to money, jewellery and a gun that were stolen from an Umhlatuzana home.
Phakati, who had worked for her employer for more than three years, was arrested by cops who tracked her to her Eshowe home.
A large sum of money and a firearm were seized.
According to police, the homeowner and his wife were not at home when the theft occurred.
