A prostitute in Zimbabwe beat a would-be customer around the head with a beer bottle after he offered to pay for sex with a boiled egg.

Moses Mushonga, 28, approached the woman in the town of Mvurwi in Mashonaland province.

Moses got what he deserved to be fair, as he initially manhandled her, leaning into her bra and touching her breast. 23-year-old Chipo was not amused after he then decided to haggle using two boiled eggs, costing 0.25 Zimbabwe dollars, the equivalent of less than a penny or a cent.

Chipo flew into a rage, hitting him with the beer bottle, and then punched him in the face, before knocking him out.

When he came round Mushonga was bleeding heavily from his head.

He told local media: "She could have just said no."

Chipo, who was not charged by police, said she felt he needed to be taught a lesson about respect - which in all fairness he did.

Earlier this year local media in the capital, Harare, reported that the poor economy meant that sex workers had reduced their prices to 0.8 Zimbabwe dollars - the equivalent of half a loaf of bread.
