Tambo and SADC Streets? Now you know.<\/p>\n<p>Middelburg has got it\u2019s own \u201csex house\u201d. A dark poorly lit building where women wait alone in a 4 x 4 metre room. Their main source of income &#8211; sex.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are in, women with hungry eyes are ripe for the picking. Choose anyone you want.<\/p>\n<p>The Middelburg Observer obtained videomaterial of the women waiting in their doors, and flashing their private parts and making obscene suggestions as you walk past. Once you have made your choice you go in and close the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou pay R150 for mlungus and R100 for muntus,\u201d you can hear one of the women say.<\/p>\n<p>Another calls the man walking past back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here, I want to @!#% you,\u201d she says.

Whether she is of age is debatable. When asked she says that she pays R3 300 for the room per month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot many of them \u201cwork\u201d. Sex is their work. Some of them go out to the streets for business but they return to their rooms at about midnight,\u201d someone who has been to the makeshift brothel says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot many white men come here, but when they do, they come to f*ck,\u201d one of the women says on the video. The purpose of these rooms are not to do drugs but sex, although using drugs are allowed.<\/p>\n<p>To stay the whole night will cost you R700, to have a threesome R500.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with someone that has been inside, he says that there are two sets op prices, one for mlungu\u2019s (white men) and one for muntus (black men).<\/p>\n<p>The owner of the building, Mr Gerhard Strydom, says that he has nothing to do with the renting of the rooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI rent the premises to someone and what he does with it is not my concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The person who handles the renting of the rooms, Deon Strydom, says every single person renting from him has a job because he has a list with their contact numbers on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is absolute nonsense that a brothel is being run from there. We keep a tight rain on the people that rent there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says that the police visit the premises regularly for drugs and other illegal activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is a problem, I will handle it and put those people out. I refuse. I have a guy that checks on those people almost 24 hours a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A copy of the video will be sent to Mr Strydom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In each open door, a woman, waiting to do business.
