A SELF professed sex worker from Chikanga appeared in court
facing charges of stealing $2 000 from an unsuspecting client.
Naledi Chitepo (21) appeared before Mutare provincial

between the driver and the passenger’s seat.
He locked the vehicle’s doors and left with Chitepo for the
club. Chitepo is alleged to have left Chitiyo in the club and preceded to the
