Human trafficking for sex work and general labor is being cited as a major concern for South Africa in the lead up to the 2010 World Cup. A recent report from the US State Department on human trafficking lauds South Africa for its work preventing sex worker trafficking and prosecuting violators. The reports calls for more focus on protecting laborers, especially children.
The report recommended that the South African government pass and enact the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Bill and implement the Children's Amendment Act of 2007.
