A sex worker from Masvingo reportedly sparked a public scene after accusing a prison officer of failing to settle payment for services allegedly rendered.

Eyewitnesses say the woman became increasingly agitated during the confrontation and attempted to physically engage the officer, forcing colleagues and members of the public to step in and restrain her as tensions escalated.

The incident unfolded in full view of onlookers and was later captured on video, which has since been circulated online by Crime Watch Zimbabwe.
