Police called to defuse tension

Two Brazilian pilots who apparently arrived in South Africa for the G20 Leadership Summit were accosted by two hostesses, believed to be prostitutes, after a tiff over nonpayment for services rendered.

The embarrassing incident, which was registered in the Sandton Police Station occurrence book (OB), occurred in the wee hours of yesterday morning in Sandton, north of Joburg.

So serious was the altercation that the aviators disembarked the vehicle they were travelling in near Sandton and started walking to their hotel in Kempton Park after the alleged hookers blitzed into their e-hail car and demanded their money.
