    Default just curious if anybody is thinking of working South Africa during the World Cup ?

    The last time I danced in South African clubs I banked big time. And it appears that things are really gearing up to accomodate visiting World Cup fans ...

    (snip)"CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- The taxi drivers hustling around the bars on Long Street in Cape Town say they are ready for all the soccer fans that will flood the city in June for the World Cup. So are hotels, restaurants, breweries and, inevitably, prostitutes.

    Arguably, the soccer World Cup is to the sex industry what the holiday season is to candy shops, a temporary surge of excited people feeling collectively festive, willing to pay for a bit of extra indulgence.

    South Africa's Drug Central Authority estimates 40,000 sex workers will trickle in for the event from as far as Russia, the Congo and Nigeria to cater to the wide taste spectrum of some 400,000, mostly male, visitors and their apres-soccer needs.

    Henry Africa, 49, drives a taxi in Cape Town and, aside from the usual airport pickups and winery tours, he also operates the "Bright Red Tour," which he expects to be a hit among soccer fans. For the equivalent of 500 dollars, he'll shuttle customers from strip bar to strip bar all night "(snip)

    Did you see the news report on the club owner down there that was just killed?

    There's many more with more detail.

    Anyhow, South Africa is pretty much on my list of scary places not to go. Although, it's really close to the Seychelles, so I probably will go see the clubs one day... just don't think I want to dance there.

    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    my first response was "what the fuck" but the OP is white so that makes a bit more sense.

    i remember seeing a news story about the sex workers being really excited that the world cup was coming..

    I went to Johannesburg South Africa where the world cup is being held to visit some friends who live there last year, my friends who live there are sayin as well as the hookers gangs are also coming to try and rob people, most of the upper class are trying not to be in the city because they are expecting trouble, I dont know about Cape Town but in Johannesburg where the world cup is being held is no joke , as a woman esp a western woman u cant just walk down the streets alone, not that they really have normal streets its all built up complex areas, so my advice would be don't dance there.

    yeah. i totally wouldn't dance there.

    prostitutes, sure. i'm sure they'll do well. at least their pimps will. i wouldn't even want to be an independent prostitute there, even if it is for the world cup.

    i imagine that any man who has "real" money will also be able to pay for high class companionship to join them for their trip. if i were just a regular man going for the world cup, i wouldn't even look for a regular prostitute or go to a strip club. it just seems too dangerous, too likely to go bad.
