A wind of change is sweeping across the capital city not only in the CBD but also on the fringes. In a span of six months, two popular brothels have closed and joints converted into business stalls. The two brothels on River Road had been operating since independence less than 200 metres apart. This has left hundreds of night nurses in the cold.
The latest to close was known for elderly and married hookers who survived on patrons checking in at the joint that had a smoky bar with adjacent rooms for the trade. The section of the building that used to host the brothels is now housing modern business stalls, forcing those who used to earn a living there to find other alternatives.
