Undercover officers responded to the advertisement and were directed to a property on Greendale Avenue. One officer gained entry after interacting with the intercom system and was escorted inside, where the illicit business operations were reportedly being conducted.

Court proceedings revealed that the arresting officer was shown to a private room where group members introduced themselves while wearing minimal clothing. Before any services could be rendered, the officer revealed his identity and signalled waiting colleagues to move in and apprehend the suspects.

The women arrested are revealed

The defendants – identified as Natasha Makowe, Anne Mandaza, Ashley Nyamutsaka, Nyasha Mungate, Gamuchirai Dzvukutu, Ellen Chihota, Miola Manyange, Euno Chiwara and Mukhtah Banda – are scheduled to return to court for formal recording of their guilty pleas.
