Morden Day Slavery

Morden day slavery also known as human trafficking is one of the biggest social issues we face in our country. We have cases where by people are turned into different types of slaves but the most common slavery is sex slavery. In most instances, girls are moved from foreign African countries like Zimbabwe and are being used for Sex here in South Africa.

Most of these girls are teenagers younger than 19 and they are being put on drugs and most of them end up having HIV/AIDS. There are men and women who own these young girls and sell them to older men for sex and the money paid to these girls goes to those people who are also known as their "Pimps". This is something that has to be taken serious and dealt with.

Most of these girls don't even agree to doing this job, they are either kidnapped or sold by family members due to a poor background. It is really sad to know that there are young girls out there who never get the opportunity to get educated like us and live a free life where they make their own decisions. We really need to deal with these issues and not turn a blind eye...

  1. It is sad to read about such issues but what is more of a concern is what are people who have the maeans and resources doing to change this. Business moguls and the government can do little but they have to at least try to work as a team. But what is really being done/

  2. the problem is that many people are not aware of this, and the people that operate this whole thing are very good at it. you can't find them just anywhere.
