Deputy minister of justice John Jeffery has likened human trafficking to modern-day slavery that thrives on people’s vulnerability and quest for a better life.
TimesLIVE spoke to two human trafficking survivors who had similar stories. They had become sex workers after being “rejected” by their families while growing up.
She met friends who introduced her to the sex industry so she could take care of her children. She said she was introduced to drugs and contracted HIV. Explaining how she was trafficked, she said she went with a client who said they were going to book a hotel in Riverside but then sweet-talked her into going with him to Johannesburg, promising her she would get more clients and make more money.
