Trustee Perapanjakam Naidoo β who also runs a guesthouse in Summerstrand and rents out rooms at the Admiralty Way address β has denied any knowledge of a brothel. Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidoo said the woman claims to have been woken at about 2am on Friday. Money was withdrawn from her account. A case of rape and kidnapping is being investigated.
Each room is shared by two women. The other rooms are occupied by other sex workers but they mainly work here and live somewhere else. On a busy day we have more than 10 clients and some days less than five. It is understood some workers make up to R40, per month. Colonel Naidoo confirmed a woman had been taken in for questioning but she was released later.
I need the police to guide me [as to] what to do. This is the first I am hearing about it. We mainly have students that live there.
If they are sex workers I did not know. Must I vet everyone wanting to rent a room? I have personally met these girls and others that live there β I would have never thought they are sex workers.
I thought their parents or someone was paying for it. This latest robbery and attack is an example of this. Sign in with the same details. Questions or problems? Email helpdesk timeslive. Register Sign In. South Africa. This article is reserved for Sunday Times subscribers.
