I have been charged by a friend of mine with theft because I have not been able to meet repayments of a loan schedule on time. I have infact reapid some of the money owed to him but am at this moment not able to repay the balance which is
R7 200,00. My erstwhile freind has now laid a charge of theft against me.

To put it in a layman's english, theft is taking something that doesn't belong to you. Your friend willing lent you money & the fact that you haven't fulfiled your part of the deal, doesn't make you a thief. Your friend probably went too far in laying a charge of theft against you, but you are also at fault. Put yourself in his position. Some respondents seem angry with your friend, but he trusted you, believed in you, came to your rescue when you needed help with the confidence that his good deed will not sour your relationship with him. But you failed to honour your part of the deal, no matter how legitimate your excuse(s) as/are.
