A 17 year old girl has been arrested for prostitution along with 84 other sex workers over the weekend.
City of Cape Town’s Special Law Enforcement Units spokesperson Neil Arendse, says the girl’s mother was unaware of her child’s activities and she was in great shock to find out that she is a sex worker.
“Many people are forced to prostitute themselves to sustain their drug addiction. Some of them are pimped by husbands or boyfriends.
“When arrested sex workers are asked to supply phone numbers of family, friends or next of kin, and in the follow-up phone call, the telephone is often answered by men with foreign accents,” said Arendse.
