SWEAT calling for legalisation of sex work - Vivian Lalloo

We closed off the show with an interview with Vivian Lalloo, an advocacy coordinator from Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Task Force or SWEAT, which is a non-profit organization that focuses on the rights of sex workers. Since South Africa became the final choice for the FIFA World Cup 2010, questions about improving and upgrading the security situation have come up, Last year an ANC MP George Lekgetho suggested decriminalisation of prostitution to provide protection to sex workers. But just yesterday acting NPA head Advocate Mokotedi Mpshe expressed his concern at a meeting saying that this law might harm South African moral values.
