10 000 child prostitutes in Jo'Burg
Came accross this article.... Worth reading..
The World Cup is around the corner and this could be a major revenue stream for the pimps :O(
Pretoria - There are about 10 000 child prostitutes in Johannesburg alone, a group concerned with child abuse said on Wednesday.
Bloemfontein, meanwhile, is one of the biggest focal points of syndicates as far as trafficking in children for sex and drug trading are concerned.
A founding member of Sapsac, a body investigating child abuse, Retha Meintjes, who is also the deputy director of public prosecution, says even though similar figures are not available for other cities, all the available information indicates that the situation in Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth are “equally grave”.
According to Sapsac, girls in South Africa are sold for between R2 500 and R12 000.
Countrywide networks of syndicates who are involved in child abuse include “prominent and wealthy” people, even some from the medical field.
Children as young as 10 “are recruited and sexually abused by adults who pay the syndicates”.
Children who work in Port Elizabeth as prostitutes and/or drug dealers, earn between R1 500 and R5 000 per day for the coffers of their “handlers”.
Sapsac said the children who disobeyed the syndicates’ instructions were punished with “extreme physical abuse, or by withholding drugs and food from them or even death”.
The group said it will make an urgent plea to the government to enforce effective measures to protect children, especially with a view to the huge international sporting events which will soon take place in South Africa.

Rules are a guideline for intelligent people, but they must be adhered to by idiots.

Our country is being run by someone that 4 years ago was accused of rape - found not guilty, but still he was accused...
You know how I feel about SA and I will always try find the good in it, but seriously, until we have a serious cabinet in place, these things will continue to happen.
How they handle things like this before the WC is going to be very interesting...

Why are communities powerless ? Surely , if they came together and with the authorities , they could address the problem.
South Africa has already created the fertile ground for the international body market and it is going to take an enormous effort to stop this from developing into a crisis.Children are often introduced to hard drugs like cocaine to ensure their co-operation with their gangster pimps who also supply them with drugs, or are beaten into submission.The harsh reality is that communities are powerless to intervene in any way to stop this exploitation of their children :(
That's right, brit. Some "sophisticated" brains sit there all day, wondering how they can make money out of the people's desires.
It shows that "abuse" is not confined to developing or under developed nations..
Speechless.
