Summary: Transvestites Mug Men (Press, 1 March 1984)

In a peculiar series of incidents reported by Zimbabwe’s Herald newspaper, a group of transvestite criminals has been targeting unsuspecting men at a popular nightclub south of Harare. These assailants, operating in small gangs of three to four, have been thumbing lifts while dressed in long dresses and sporting permed hair, which has led to a high level of surprise among their victims. Transvestitism is relatively uncommon in Zimbabwe, making the perpetrators' disguises particularly effective in deceiving their targets. Once the victims have offered them a ride, the muggers quickly reveal their true intentions by attacking, often choking their victims and forcing them to pull over before proceeding to rob and beat them. The news highlights a troubling trend in the area, as local men are now becoming increasingly wary of their surroundings when approached by individuals presenting as women.
