Renowned TV presenter, radio host, and DJ, Etania Mutoni, has shockingly opened up about a harrowing experience of how she ended up vending her sumbie when she was falsely promised a job opportunity in Asia, only to end up with a Russian man who slapped her to take off her clothes.
The entertainer, known for her lively on-screen presence, bravely shared her story of being ensnared in prostitution and human trafficking, a stark contrast to the dream job she initially believed she was pursuing.
The tale began innocently enough, with a seemingly legitimate job advertisement offering high earnings at a 7-11 store in Asia. Eager for a better future and financial stability, Etania reached out to the provided contact on the poster, only to discover herself plunged into a nightmarish reality beyond her wildest imagination.
"When we were in Asia, I saw a poster advertising a job at a 7-11 store, paying around two million. However, when I contacted the lady whose number was on the poster, everything changed. This lady told me I could make a lot of money by standing on the street and approaching every man that passes. It turned out the job was prostitution," Etania recounted.
Stripped of her innocence and trapped in a foreign land far from home, Etania found herself entangled in a desperate situation, with her passport held hostage.
"I didn’t have a way out. She demanded I pay her money so that she can give me back my passport. This was the only time I had ever left my village in Kampala, Uganda. Now I find myself in this city I know nothing about," Etania lamented.
The shocking revelation sheds light on a pervasive issue of false job advertisements leading vulnerable individuals into the dark underworld of human trafficking. Etania, who was merely 17 at the time, disclosed the unimaginable hardships she endured, culminating in her confinement in an Asian jail.
"We were promised legitimate employment but ended up as sex slaves," Etania revealed, her voice trembling with emotion.
Etania's heart-wrenching tale tugged at the strings of our emotions ššš. Watch the repeat of the emotional rollercoaster that was Sunday's episode of #KampalaCreme today at 3pm on #PearlMagic DStv Ch.161 and GOtv Ch.301 https://t.co/YI1OmhlkLg pic.twitter.com/PrPjyYtmVP
