Free cinema for passersby as sex workers trade insults over money

Two sex workers plying their trade along Kenyatta Avenue engaged in a bitter fight over the share of free money given to them by a man.

The early morning incident attracted passersby who were arriving in the city early, as their colleagues watched in disbelief.

One of them claimed that they were beckoned into the car of the man who gave them some cash, but her colleague shortchanged her.

However, the one who received the cash said the money was a debt for services rendered – a claim that infuriated the colleague.

“Huyu Shiro amenizoea sana. Wakati mwingine alifanya hivyo hivyo akanigonga na chupa imepasuka kwa mguu ikanikata. Roundi hii simuachi (Shiro has made it a habit; the other time she behaved the same way and hit me with a broken bottle on my leg. This time round I am not sparing her),” the angry woman was heard shouting. 

She then confronted Shiro for a fight, tearing off her wig. The fight that lasted about 10 minutes was later followed by unprintable abuses from each of the women, while their colleagues said they had in the past tried to reconcile them without success.
