Sex ,Slave Labor, Human Trafficking alert; Nelson Mandela South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010 June 11

SOCCER FIFA World Cup 2010 News updates Human/Sex Trafficking @ "Outside the Lines" has investigated whether the presence of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa will have an effect on human trafficking in the country. OTL interviewed dozens of sources in South Africa and around the world, including officials in law enforcement, government agencies, research institutes and advocacy groups, as well as pimps and prostitutes who will work the brothels and streets of South African cities hosting World Cup matches. The investigation included undercover footage, recorded from within the South African sex industry in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The reporting process led to multiple sources who said more young people have been trafficked either into South Africa from other countries or internally to work in a rapidly growing sex industry because of the month long soccer tournament.Last month, South African President Jacob Zuma signed legislation that makes trafficking in minors a crime, but more comprehensive anti-trafficking legislation remains stuck in a committee within the South African Parliament and won't be passed into law until late 2010 at the earliest, according to Errol Naidoo, an activist and lobbyist who pushed hard to get the legislation passed before the World Cup started."Recently they arrested nine Nigerian traffickers and they don't have the law in place to effectively and comprehensively deal with these guys."In Johannesburg, where the World Cup begins Friday, the number of brothels has doubled within the past year, according to one law enforcement source. He explained that he's spent years penetrating human trafficking syndicates and that he'd found 10 trafficking victims in Johannesburg-area brothels alone in just the two weeks prior to the interview.
