Foreigners trafficked to SA for World Cup

There are between 800 and 1 100 Thai woman in South Africa who have been "trafficked" for sexual exploitation - and a third have been lured here believing they are coming to do honest jobs, a senior South African policeman has revealed.
Justice Department sources say they have information that with the 2010 soccer World Cup looming, more women are being brought in and kept "underground" in residential areas until closer to the time.
"We cannot allow those who profit from human misery to continue with impunity, said SAPS Director Ebrahim Kadwa, who heads up organised crime operations.
Kadwa said South Africa's flourishing brothels constituted the biggest market within the southern African region for prostitutes originating from Thailand, China, Russia and other Eastern Bloc countries.

Many of these prostitutes, he said, were victims of human trafficking and were controlled by organised crime networks.
Kadwa said the vast majority of foreign prostitutes in South Africa were not kept under physical restraint but their passports were confiscated and they worked in "debt bondage" paying off, on average, R60 000 after which they were "sold, rented and circulated" to other brothels.
"There is a huge demand for exotic women because they are money-spinners.
"Intelligence indicates that some of the major brothels with these foreign prostitutes are making a turnover of between R40 000 and R120 000 an evening," said Kadwa.
"During big rugby and other sporting events, business booms. Clients who book out a prostitute are required to pay the entire fee (between R350 and R500 an hour) to the brothel, which shares the takings with the agents who supply the women.
"The women get a negligible portion," he said.
Kadwa said that about 70 percent of victims trafficked from Thailand were sex workers recruited with the offers of good earning potential in South Africa.
The other 30 percent were lured with promises of jobs as waitresses, cleaners, cooks, sales assistants and nannies.
All were controlled by the brothel owners "by means of psychological threat and fear of violence against them or their family members back home".
At present, South Africa only has the Sexual Offences Amendment Act to deal with the problem. But new legislation - the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Bill - is expected to be passed this year.
In KwaZulu-Natal a multi-agency task team has been set up to deal specifically with trafficking, pornography, prostitution and brothels. The Justice Department source said the new legislation would make it easier to prosecute these cases more effectively.
