Abstract: 
In September 2006 a new clause was inserted into the Sexual Offences Act making it an offence to "unlawfully and intentionally engage the sexual services of a person 18 years or older for financial or other reward, favour or compensation." According to the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development the intended aim of this clause is to protect sex workers from exploitation and abuse and to prevent trafficking in persons by eradicating sex work.
