Depth Interviews

This article examines the complex arrangements within which women working in prostitution in South Africa find themselves, and documents their resilience in a hazardous work environment. Findings are drawn from a survey and in-depth interviews with sex workers in Cape Town that investigated the nature and extent of human trafficking in the sex industry, and from a separate survey of sex workers during the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The findings provide the basis for a critique of Western rescue missions and the larger antitrafficking movement.

Economic Background

Urban renewal and development is an important strategy in the South African government's plans to combat poverty and transform the country's economy.  The aim of this study was to investigate  the perceptions and attitudes of residents (the local commununity) towards a mixed-use development in Hout Bay, Cape Town.  An exploratory factor analysis was used to reduce 13 usable variables to four factors, labelled as macro-, micro-, location specific- and infrastructure and superstructure factors.  The findings based on the four factors suggest that significant differences exist in the perceptions of development between different socio-economic groups within the community.  Regardless of the socio-economic background of residents, they agreed that development should blend in with existing architecture and the character of the area.
