Plans to legalise prostitution for the 2010 football World Cup in South Africa have been criticised by religious groups and opposition parties.
The local authority in Durban wants legalised adult entertainment venues during the tournament.
But African Nazareth Democratic Movement (ANDM) president Thokozani Hlatshwayo said the proposal was "against the word of God".
Opposition parties fear that, if introduced, it could become permanent.
The main opposition Democratic Alliance and the youth wing of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) have condemned the suggestion.
"Plans to legalise Durban's red-light districts before the 2010 World Cup should be condemned in the strongest possible manner," said Pat Lebenya-Ntanzi of the IFP youth brigade.
She said the South African government was sending out mixed messages to young people.

I think it's a good idea. Don't ask me why, but football fans want to get laid during a tournament, every tournament ever pointed this out. And they *are* gonna get their sex anyway. So why not legalize and regulate it? It could prevent (too) young girls being involved, for instance.
Same/similar thing happened during the WC in Germany, 2006, I believe. I can't see what's so strange about this.

There is the slight issue of one of the highest rates of HIV and AIDS in the world.

And, y'know, sex slavery.

what the fuck, nobody ever brings this up for the Super Bowl.

Super bowl isn't in Africa though.

No, my WTF is more about how Prosti is illegal in a country, but as soon as tourists/money is concerned, let's change the rules.

As opposed to 'turn a blindeye' or something.

damnit, lost my last post:

Something along the lines of: So, sex workers need protection only during the tournament.

Also, that this implies that there are no sex workers right now, and as soon as the tourney is over, they'll be back at the office/shop/home/legit work...
