Sex Trafficking and Prostitution in South Africa

Basically, there isn't much:

"There is little evidence to substantiate the popular notions that in the South African
context: (1) it is common for deception and force to be used in recruitment into
prostitution; (2) there are many child prostitutes; (3) trafficking results from clients’
demands for young and foreign prostitutes; (4) rural women and girls and those
from poor backgrounds are attractive targets for traffickers; (5) the sex industry is
dominated by organized criminal groups; (6) sex workers are typically controlled
through drugs and addiction; and (7) foreign sex workers are trafficked in significant
numbers into the South African sex sector. Regarding the belief that large
international sporting events increase the demand for prostitutes and result in an
influx of trafficked sex workers into the locale, the UNPFA study found no evidence
for this claim."
