My Confessions — The True Story About Prostitutes, or ‘Magosha’ as They Are Affectionately Known” is based on years of research and firsthand experiences visiting brothels. Many men I know frequent these establishments regularly, week in and week out.

Gauteng

Johannesburg

There are more prostitutes in Johannesburg than in any other other place in South Africa. Below is a list of brothels in Gauteng.

Johannesburg CBD

Diplomat Hotel

Located in the heart of the Johannesburg CBD at 4 Klein Street, near the MTN Noord Taxi Rank, this is one of the oldest brothels in the city. It attracts a diverse group of prostitutes, primarily from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho, and South Africa. Many of the women have curvy figures, particularly larger posteriors, although many are older and more experienced in the trade. Entry is free during the week from Monday to Thursday and costs R10 from Friday to Sunday (as of June 2018). The venue has a main bar (non-smoking) and a separate smoking bar. The place is often dirty and can have an unpleasant smell, making it not for the faint-hearted. However, it is known for having some of the most voluptuous women in Gauteng. New faces arrive daily, and many women start their careers in prostitution here due to its constant activity. Prices for services start at R70 for missionary and R100 for doggy style, depending on your negotiation skills. Alcohol prices have risen, with cans starting at R23, and no quarts are available. Strip shows are held every hour during the weekends. Women share rooms, so it’s possible to have others in the room during activities.

Both the original and new clubs are busier on Fridays and Saturdays, though midweek visits can still be enjoyable. The price for services is R100 for missionary and R150 for doggy style, as of 2023. Many of the ladies previously worked in other brothels but now offer their services at these clubs. During the week, you can also find women from Royal Park and Summit working there.
