Updated | By Kriya Gangiah
A lady by the name of Fatuma Phiri did exactly that.
Phiri who is a domestic worker was spotted by her employer modeling a number of items of clothing on facebook that looked very familiar.
On closer inspection of the "“People You May Know" section on Facbook her employer noticed that Phiri was indeed wearing items of her clothing and had also taken photos posing in her wedding dress.
“I feel so violated. I cannot even look at my wedding dress anymore. Some of the buttons are now broken as she tried to force the dress on. This is the dress in which I took sacred vows before God,” she said.
After seeing the Facebook profile and further inspection, a number item seen in the photos were identified as missing.
A charge of theft was laid at Sandton police station and the domestic worker was arrested on Saturday morning when she arrived for work.
Phiri appeared in court on Monday but the case was dismissed after the employer withdrew the charges and terminated her contract.
