Mtwapa town is well known for the high number of sex workers in there. A gay sex worker who is middle aged is nursing injuries after he was beaten by a group of fellow male commercial sex workers in the same town.
The irate group accused the victim of employing charms to win over white men who roam the streets of the town at night shopping for gay sex. About six gay sex workers descended on their colleague, identified only with his trade name Fatma, after a lean muscled white man picked him over them.
The men were angry because Fatma’s popularity with gay white tourists was soaring. The irate male prostitutes reportedly snapped when the muscled man, accompanied by two heavy set black bodyguards, arrived and gave the whole group a casual look before whistling and winking at Fatma, who crossed the street to meet him.
His colleagues say that is was the third time in the night that a white man was picking Fatma as his colleagues watched. They had warned him to leave, arguing that he had earned enough for the night and should let the white man to them but he defied them.
The furious group claimed Fatma was not winning the hearts of clients because of his looks or because he was better in bed than them but due to juju. Well wishers took Fatma to the hospital and after he was discharged, courtesy of his benefactor, the white man invited Fatma to live with him in a nearby luxurious beach hotel where rumours have it that he is treating him like a queen.
