A partially blind Zimbabwean woman, Kelly, has ventured into prostitution claiming she wants to raise the ₦157,231, $500 ( Five hundred dollars ) needed for eye surgery and has engaged her lover to protect her, H-Metro reports.
Kelly said: “My life is no longer the same following the passing on of my mother and this forced me into prostitution my brother. I have no problem of accommodation since I am renting a room with my boyfriend Elton 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. 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.” Elton says he makes sure Kelly’s clients do not take advantage of her blindness.
Her colleague, Rachel, helps her by holding her hand when approaching her potential clients. She 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.”
