Sex workers in Lusaka are tired of being duped out of payment for services rendered and have come up with a solution to receive payment from unreliable customers.
Non-paying clients forced sex workers to rely on mobile payment systems which is mobile technology that uses cellphones to make money transfers.
Street workers now insist that clients pay using MTN or Airtel mobile money before any sexual services are performed.
According to Sources the prostitutes carry at least two cell-phone lines from different service providers to ensure successful transactions.
“Some clients would pay you before you offer them sexual services and then after we finish they violently demand their money back,” said one of the workers.
These sex workers have managed to kill two birds with one stone as it’s now much harder for police to ask for bribes after workers are arrested for loitering because money is mostly mobile.
These mobile payment systems have created a better working environment with an increase in productivity and profit.

Harare – Zimbabwean sex workers are increasingly turning to mobile money when it comes to receiving payments.
Mobile money systems are thriving in Zimbabwe and the companies offering them are expanding the platforms beyond money transfers and airtime purchases.
The country s three mobile companies Econet, Telecel and NetOne all have mobile money platforms. Last year, Econet revealed that it has over four million EcoCash users while Telecel raced to over 600 000 users after launching its Telecash service .
And sex workers in Zimbabwe are turning to mobile money services to receive payments using their cellphones while instant messaging apps are also helping them to market themselves.
There are regular clients who have no problem paying in advance or just before they come for services, said one sex worker in Harare s Avenues area, situated on the outskirts of the central business district.
Another, whose WhatsApp mobile account is only identified as Angelina, says on her profile update that prospective clients can talk to her only after paying $5 into her mobile money account.
This is a repeat of an article that already featured on this website. Pa tumfweko you are just as bad as the PF when it comes to forgetting their promises and what they said 90 days ago. Meanwhile am sure that stella sata would be happy with these prostitutes because this is the only entrepreneurship in the country that does not require any type of capital and does not require government to put incentives in place. Thanks to your father and his party people are getting into such vices based on desperation and not through choice or preference. Zambia has gone to the dogs. woof woof. 2016 let us take our country back and vote UPND
your mother will be happy with thios system as she is a sex worker, not Stella
Demented Bigot!
From Zimbabwe to Zambia it’s spreading fast.
bufi nimwe, When tumfweko has no stories they steal ” news from other websites and twist the stories and say it happened in Zambia.

So I now request my clients to pay via EcoCash or Telecash before I offer them services, she added.
Talent Jumo, the director for Katswe Sisterhood, a Zimbabwean group advocating for the rights of sex workers in Zimbabwe, confirmed that sex workers in the country are using mobile technology.
They are being innovative. We want to be careful that its not something that contravenes communication laws.
They can also use social media to notify those who can fight for their rights when they encounter violence or other problems, she said.
Her organisation deals with about 300 commercial sex workers in Harare, most of whom are now actively participant on social media as a means to communicate and attract clients.
The sex workers are also able to send pictures and videos of cases of abuse or violence to rights campaigners using social media and other instant messaging platforms.
