S£x with an Indian client has cost a massage therapist her marriage after her colleague, who was also sleeping with the same client, revealed the s£xual affair to her husband.

This came to light in Matero Local Court 1 when Petronella Sichone sued her work-mate, Grace Kabwe, for calling her a pr0stitute and that she had a child with the Indian client.

The court heard that both the complainant and the defendant used to engage in s£xual activities with their Indian client in full view of each other.

Sichone told Magistrate Victory Ndhlovu that on November 19, she and Kabwe attended a funeral.

She said while at the funeral, Kabwe picked a fight and the two started exchanging words. She said the defendant became physical on her.

Sichone said the defendant left while she remained at the funeral house but when she went home between 21:00 hours and 22:00 hours, she found Kabwe with her husband at her matrimonial home.

“In the presence of my husband, Kabwe accused me of having a child with the Indian man and she accused me of being a pr0stitute.

She yelled all sorts of insults at me and told me that she now goes out with my husband because I failed him and I disappointed him,” she said.

Sichone said because of the accusations, her husband has since left their matrimonial home and has been away for two weeks.

In her statement, Kabwe told the court that it was true Sichone was a pr0stitute and has a child with their Indian client.

She said the child is half-Indian and looks white. “It is true my friend is a pr0stitute and she has a child with our Indian client.

We work together at a massage parlour. The client used to have s£x with her in my presence and he did the same with me in her presence. We would both watch while he sleeps with either of us, but my friend had a child with him,” she said.

Kabwe admitted that she was found with Sichone’s husband and also said he was the one who started sending her text messages.

When the court summoned the Indian man as a witness in the matter, he admitted that he has been engaging in s£xual activities with both Sichone and Kabwe.

He said he used to go to the massage parlour where the two worked but he later changed his mind and asked the two to instead start doing the massage on a private basis and outside their work place.

Magistrate Ndhlovu dismissed the claim of defamation of character on grounds that both the plaintiff and defendant were engaging in a s£xual affair with their client.
