‘I am raising money for eye surgery’ Young Blind Sex Worker Spills

Following the death of her mum, a young blind sex worker identified as Kelly from Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe stunned many in her community when she started selling her body to men in order to raise money for her eye surgery.

H-Metro reports that the young lady said she plans to raise the US$500 needed for her treatment and has engaged her boyfriend, Elton to protect her.

Accompanied by another thigh vendor identified only as Rachel, Kelly narrated:

“My life is no longer the same following the passing on of my mother and this forced me into prostitution.

I have no problem of accommodation since I am renting a room with my boyfriend in Unit K Chitungwiza and he is the one who keeps all the money I receive from the men I render services to.

Elton makes sure he records all the vehicle registration numbers of motorists who hire me and makes sure I am secured. I used to stay in Epworth before relocating to Chitungwiza with my boyfriend.

After raising the money I do not see myself continuing in sex work because the life is not good at all and some of the clients want to take advantage of me to give me peanuts.

It is not a good method to raise money though but I was left without any other option until I agreed with my boyfriend.

If I find someone to help me I will not continue in the streets. I will invite you home for more detail since I cannot disclose everything in the presence of these ladies; after all, I am here for business, ndipewo dollar rekutenga sadza.”

In addition, she stated that she a native of Mudzi where most of her relatives live but has since stopped visiting them.

Elton confirmed cohabiting with Kelly, saying he makes sure her clients do not take advantage of her blindness.

He explained: “I record those who engage Kelly for security purposes and I make sure she is kept warm by collecting pieces of cardboard boxes to make fire.”

One of Kelly’s colleague in the business, Rachel also said that she helps Kelly by holding her hand when approaching her potential clients saying most of the clients are after young ladies.

Rachel said: “Kelly is getting more customers and we have agreed with all hookers around this place that we must not compete with her since she is after raising money for eye surgery. I give her a hand leading her to her clients because it will be dark since she is blind but these days I am now a senior.”
