MBABANE – She is HIV positive and has slept with over 500 men since she started working as a sex worked, some 14 years ago.


Despite her status and being a mother of two, she says there is no stopping her as clients still want her services.
This is the revelation of Wendy* a sex worker based in Ezulwini.


She is 29 years old and in a comfortable tone, reveals that she dropped out of school in Grade VII while schooling St Mary’s Primary School. 
*Wendy tells the story of her life without flinching or any discomfort. She blames her friends for taking her out of school and introducing her into sex work.
“I was young and did not know what I was doing. I found it to be fun as went to different places at night on binges and that is where we solicited men to come with us for sex. Though I was young, I remember that we went to places like the Why Not and my friends protected me from the guards and other people, who wanted to take advantage of me,” she explained.


However, she does state that by the time her friends recruited her into the business, she was no longer a virgin. She had her first sexual experience with her boyfriend when she was 13 years and she fell pregnant.
Taking a moment to count how old her first is right now, she is quick to state that her calculations maybe inaccurate as she dropped out of school. She did get it right after a moment.


She says the father of the child passed on. “This is another factor that made me easily agree when my friends recruited me into the trade. When going to make money with my friends I would leave my baby with my siblings and relatives. I had to earn a living so that I could take care of her.”


Despite her daughter now being 16 years and studying in one of the schools around Ezulwini, Wendy says she has managed to keep this a secret from her.    
Like every other sex worker’s story, she says she is from a disadvantaged family and stayed with her mother in a stick and mud house. Her father is deceased.
She is a member of the Catholic Church.

Wendy is a tough woman who has done very bad things I must say. But I just pray that the reality of her child knowing who she really is does not hinder her future and the ability to want to be a better child tomorrow.

She has to strive and pray and hope for the best. It doesn't really matter where she comes from.

#No worries.
