A 31-year-old self-confessed sex worker has appeared in court for allegedly assaulting a fellow hooker over a client.
Angela Chiwira, who resides at Mverechena Business Centre, pleaded guilty before a Harare magistrate charged with assault.
When Chiwira was asked to plead before the court, she stated that it was an act of self-defence as complainant Melody Malunga was beating her.
Allegations are that on March 17, Malunga approached the accused person in the evening at the V.M Night Club.
Malunga was drinking beer when the male client sent her to collect his t-shirt from Chiwira who reacted in a violent manner and hit the complainant once on the left cheek using an empty bottle.
"I just saw myself on the ground being assaulted by 20 people while I lay on the ground. When I managed to stand I picked up a bottle and hit Malunga while defending myself," said Chiwira.
The presiding magistrate remanded the matter to March 23.
