South Africa – Kinross police are patrolling the streets to try to prevent prostitutes from returning to the small Mpumalanga town after a sex worker and her client were killed while having sex on a railway line.
Why are people this desperate?
The couple had ignored warning hoots from the goods train that hit them while they were having sex on the railway line on September 19.
“We found the place littered with used condoms shortly after the incident. The disused railway station has also been described as a haven for hookers,” said Kinross police spokesperson Constable Esther Nhlapho on Friday.
She said some prostitutes picked up clients at taverns and took them to the deserted station for sex at night.
She said the situation had improved since police started Operation Hlasela (hunt) a week ago.
She said there had been an influx of prostitutes from other areas to service motorists and truck drivers passing through Kinross, mainly at night.
“During the day they are nowhere to be seen in town, they operate mainly at night and on the outskirts of town, where they are not known,” she said.

As if the risk of HIV/Aids is not enough, I can not believe people can think of having sex on the railway line. Could this be the most stupid place people have chosen to have sex? I remember a security guard and his prostitute being electrocuted a few years back while having sex in a ZESA power station box.
