Inside South Africa's grim sex work industry - 'You’ll change all your standards for money'
The sex industry in South Africa is huge. By all accounts thousands of women are making a living selling their bodies in strip clubs, at truck stops, in massage parlours, suburban homes or backstreet alleys across the land.
