GENTLE reader, perhaps you might not have noticed, there is a sharp increase in sex workers in our beloved and beautiful city, and the reasons goes beyond what meets the eye.
All along Blabber thought it is all about the economic hardships that many are facing, and then resort to peddling their flesh, only to realise that it is more than just the financial difficulties.
Blabber this week found out that apart from financial difficulties, the trade of sex work in the city is now being made much easier by different stakeholders in the game.
First, it is this other snooker tokens seller, who operates in the downtown area.
This bozo, whose name is reminiscent of this other male urban grooves artiste, is entrusted with the duty of selling tokens to pool players at that other popular pool joint in the downtown area.
Of late, the boy has expanded his business operations to providing very cheap accommodation to sex workers and their clients in the same building that houses pool tables.
Word reaching Blabber is that this dude charges very minimal amounts for providing accommodation to these flesh peddlers and their clients, and at times he is paid in kind. Put simply, the snooker joint has been turned into a brothel! For these sex workers to get to their workstations they need transport.
Senior officers in the security guard companies are coming in handy in the provision of transport for sex workers.
Blabber noticed that in the dead of the night, some senior security guards, who normally do rounds checking on their personnel on duty at various stations around the Central Business District, are transporting sex workers from Point A to B, or even transport them back home early the next day.
Using the motorbikes, these good-for-nothing security officers are also charging very small amounts to operate as private taxis for sex workers, making appointments and faithfully transporting them. Just like our dear snooker tokens seller, some of the senior security officers are also being paid in kind at times.
While Blabber has nothing against how people go about their lives, as an elder in the community, Yours Truly feels duty bound to bare it all for the court of public opinion.
By the way, what is this that we hear about players of that other highly physical game in which they pass around an egg-shaped ball? Word reaching Yours Truly is that they have deserted the principles of fair play and resorting to assaulting each other over girlfriends to the extent that one of them is battling for dear life in hospital.
Blabber will certainly go deeper on this one. Enjoy your weekend and never forget to take good care of your loved ones. After all, life is too short!
