Sex workers burnt house
FOUR sex workers in the Federation section of Dangamvura, who lived together in a small cabin, will live to regret snatching a client from fellow thigh vendors during a night out at a local pub after their rented cabin was set on fire the next day.
The four, who were only identified by their neighbours as Mary, Fadzi, Lorraine and Ruvimbo, are understood to have lured an unidentified cash-flaunting client during Saturday night at a local night club.
Apparently the client had been attached to a different clique of thigh vendors during the same night.
This did not go down well with the losing crew who decided to take the war to the quartet's doorstep the following day.
Neighbours interviewed by this publication said the four sex workers have since been rendered homeless and were only left with nothing but the clothes they were putting when their cabin was set on fire.
"What happened is that, there are four sex workers who reside here and they had a scuffle over a client on Saturday night at a nearby bar. The next day, which was a Sunday, their rivals came and started assaulting the four who live here.
"In fact, one of the girls who live here sustained a deep cut on the hand after she was stabbed by a knife. The other one sustained head injuries during the fight. After the four who live here were clearly overpowered, their cabin was set on fire. This happened in full view of all surrounding neighbours and passers-by. We are not sure where they (the four) went after all this but we are certain that they were left with nothing except the clothes that they were wearing on Sunday," said one male neighbour who chose to speak on condition of anonymity.
By the time of going to Press it was not clear if the four had lodged a complaint with the police.
Police could neither confirm nor deny the incident.
"We do not have that report from Dangamvura," said deputy Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Muzondiwa Clean.
The four sex workers could not be reached for comment as they had deserted their rented cabin by the time this news crew visited their place on Monday afternoon.
The Federations section of Dangamvura is widely referred to as KumaMahalape, owing to squalid conditions in the area.
