Child Prostitution - South Africa

Dec 1998
Child prostitution is rife in South Africa. It's a means of survival for impoverished township kids.

Standing at the side of the road two young girls pass time playing like children, until their pimp tells them to shut-up. Their friend 14 year-old Lindy, lifts her top to let a potential client inspect her wares. "They like to suck them because I'm young" she says. Following a girl on a job we confront her white client. His flies undone, he denies he knew how old she was and demands his money back. A passer-by comes to help him out. "He was just following a call of nature," he says. Nobody knows how many children are working the streets. They stay here because of poverty, because there is no home to go back to and prostitution is all they can do to survive. Local police have given-up chasing the clients; "If you catch these people they won't give evidence [against clients] because tomorrow they will be back on the street." Instead social workers try to take the children into homes. The numbers they can help though is small, and most turn back to prostitution.

@TheGravitationist i reckon the only thing that would not of been happenining - was the filming, those involved (in the tv show) would have been severly dealt to by the security forces and the film denounced as a commie plot. It would of been done ( the child sex that is) with a veil of secracy tho

@mwhite36 the only right is by power or force, you want it, you had better be prepared to fight and die for it. and that mightnt be enough if we out number,out think or out tech you.. We have deviated from this simple rule for about 200 years, but i reckon we'll soon return to it, i have faith in human nature
