The woman was shot in the buttocks on the corner of Barrat Street and Main Reef Road on Friday night, Krugersdorp News reported.

Last week, the plight of the country’s sex workers was highlighted at the launch of a national HIV/Aids programme, which focused on their needs.
At an event attended by more than 130 sex workers in Johannesburg, sex-worker movement Sisonke’s national coordinator Kholi Buthelezi pointed out the dire situations faced by sex workers.
This included police officers who raped sex workers as “a favour” not to jail them.
