SEX CONTRACT GONE WRONG

A Cape Town couple have been charged with using a young woman as a sex slave-but some say she lost the job she signed up for and now has a grudge against them

THE OFFER the wealthy couple made her was a lucrative one: R60 000 a month to be their assistant, doing mainly administrative work for their businesses - but they also put something extra on the table that would bring in additional income.

The young woman was presented with a contract that detailed how she'd travel the world with them and be on call to satisfy the husband's sexual needs. The document, drawn up and sent by the wife, states, "Learn to be intimate with a man. No group sex. No lesbian sex. Your duty is to allow my husband to teach you how to be with a real man.

"Your passion is to have sex with my husband. You cannot have sex with anyone else. You must take care of yourself and make sure my husband does the same. You must go to the gym five times a week. Make sure my husband follows his diet."

Three days later the 27-year-old woman accepted the terms and conditions. "I accept the contract as I would like to heal and grow mentally and physically," she wrote in her reply.

The payment for her extra "services" was a one-time R110 000 to move with the couple to Dubai. After that she was promised a further R100 000 per month.

In the following months she travelled with the couple - a woman aged 38 who owns two businesses and a 46-year-old man who works in construction - between their homes in Cape Town and Dubai.

She documented her new champagne lifestyle on Instagram, posting pictures of herself sipping bubbly on a plane, all dressed up for an Andrea Bocelli concert, having her hair done at a salon that charges up to R10 000 a session.

There are also posts featuring Dubai's glitzy malls and flashy cars, another of her having brunch at a high-end restaurant, her Louis Vuitton bag in pride of place on the table.

And then something happened and the agreement fell apart.
