The woman appeared for the first time briefly on Thursday, facing charges of pointing a firearm and assault.

She was arrested last week after her house helper, Priscilla Mmusi, was found lying in the street and taken to hospital.

Mmusi said when she reported for work, her employer “asked me to accompany her to the local liquor outlet to buy some beers.

“When we arrived there, they refused to sell it to her on the grounds that her husband and the police instructed them not to do so because when she is drunk, she is violent.”
