Cape Town - A sex worker has given a court sizzling details of how clients were serviced at her Cape brothel.
And the young woman said the brothel advertised sex like fast food giant Nando’s.
Mauricia Oliver testified in the Khayelitsha Regional Court on Tuesday in the case against alleged two brothel owners, mother and daughter Selina Salie, 42, and Nicole Fernandez, 24.
They face 15 charges of money laundering and racketeering.
The pair allegedly owned three brothels in Wynberg and Constantia.
They were arrested in June 2010, when police cracked down on their establishments, Nicky’s Angels in Belvedere Road in Claremont, Aromatic Salon in Constantia Road in Constantia and Secrets in Broad Road in Wynberg.
Mauricia said she started working for Salie in 2009, and had been working in the sex industry since 2003.
Mauricia said Salie advertised her businesses in weekend papers and helped the girls place individual adverts.
“Each girl would have her individual ads in the paper. It’s not good enough for a girl to just be there and no one knows abut her.
“So we would advertise our business, just like Nando’s,” she said.
She worked at the Wynberg and Constantia brothels.
The well-spoken woman said services provided at the establishment included massages, sex acts and guaranteed happy endings.
“We offer full body massages,” she said. “Full house where you go all the way with the guy, meaning (we) have sex with the man. Pelvic massages, blowjobs, hand jobs and boob jobs. We did a lot of things.”
Giggles broke out when the State asked Mauricia: “Do you know anything about happy endings?”
She confidently answered: “After all this, it will be a happy ending. If (the client) leaves after 30 minutes or an hour it means he was relieved.”
Mauricia told the court what the work involved: “It was not just massages. What I did in the room wasn’t strictly massages.”
Mauricia, whose working name is Kelly, said women who work in the sex industry often use pseudonyms to hide their identities.
“The purpose of an alias is so you can dispute it was you who was there,” she said.
The accused mother and daughter could be heard giggling during court proceedings.
However, at one stage, Fernandez herself interrupted the court complaining she could not hear because people in the gallery were giggling.
The case continues on Wednesday.
