Two of Harare’s pole dancers and strippers, Zoey Sifelani and Beverley Sibanda, were yesterday morning arrested for public indecency.
This follows an outcry from the public after a local tabloid published semi-nude pictures of the two raunchy dancers performing what appeared to be pornography on stage.
Both Zoey and Beverley were picked up around 11am and were taken to the Commercial Crime Unit at Harare Central Police Station where they were interviewed for hours.
Sibanda’s manager Harpers Mapimhidze yesterday confirmed the two’s arrest and said they were still in police custody late last night.
“I accompanied them to the police station and they had their operating permits with them. They are both registered with the Dancers Association of Zimbabwe and the Censorship Board.
