Stripping in Cape Town, South Africa
Hey ladies,
Has anyone worked or heard much about stripping in Cape Town, there's a club called Mavericks that I've heard of (club is supposed to be up-market and they even have a house for the dancers who go over there, although on the website it says dancers must stay at the club for a minimum of 3 months and do 5 nights a week. I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or what).
Anyway I was pondering going over at some point as I'd love to see South Africa but obviously don't know anything about working over there. Not sure what the moneys like, how safe it is etc etc
Does anyone know anything or has anyone worked there?
Thanks! x

I've never worked there but I know a girl who did and she said it was good.
Re: Stripping in Cape Town, South Africa
An acquaintance of mine worked there and said it's basically a brothel and they held her passport.

Ditto what Vackra says I too have heard it is dangerous.

Heyy :) I' south african so I can weigh in here. Cape Town is not the best place to be for sex work, just because the rates are way lower than in Johannesburg. having said that, go to work at Mavericks. Its a great club and the girls do make decent money. I've been there many times and chatted to many different girls both international and local and most of them have never had problems there.

Eeeek I'm not sure now, club sounds a bit dodgy. I've always worked in non touching clubs, I don't think I'd have issues with touching above the waist but 100% nothing more than that.
Does anyone else have any expeinces at this club or any other in cape town?

Hi SimoneGray, have you worked at the club yourself? If so what was your experience? Also is Johannesburg better for dancing than cape town?
Re: Stripping in Cape Town, South Africa
agreed that JoBerg offers more lucrative dancing opportunities !!!
Re: Stripping in Cape Town, South Africa
definitely...people alsp pay WAY more for dances etc than In cape town due to the economic differences between the cities. Also there are a few upscale clubs in johannesburg as opposed to just one in CT. Obviously there are places you should avoid, but if you're looking to work seriously, PM me and I'll tell you what I know
Re: Stripping in Cape Town, South Africa
Oh DOH! Have so been looking forward to going to Cape Town after my contract on Guam is up... like maybe go there in February of 2016. The owner (or manager?) of Maverick's Tim Waggener has been in touch and says I most certainly can come out anytime. Didn't think it was on a formal contract, though. Would be staying in dancer housing and the weekly fees total are about (in USD) $380 which is sort of high but not compared to NYC or something and includes housing. Think there might be additional fees though like to makeup artist and choreographer.
Also, the fact that Maverick's in in (in my opinion) one of the most awesome cities in the world make it worth it even if I don't make bank... just to have a paid vacation sort of thing...
But when people mention that it is not lucrative, are girls going over there and coming back with little or nothing? I am great at saving money but damn sounds like they also might have their hand (at this one club) in trafficking or something? Or at the very least is VERY high on the extras so too competitive, I don't do extras at all. Don't know if I want any part of that. Boooo
If anyone else since 2007 has worked there and had personal experience with this place please let me know. Sounds super scary as is!
Also there is another club in Cape Town called Teazers, not much of an upmarket club as the other but possibly less sleazy prostitution wise?? Anyone know? I really have very little interest in going to Johannesburg regardless of it the money is better there.
