University students turn to prostitution to cover Fees. “Prostitution is a form of hustle” part two


They came to Johannesburg to study and life dealt them a hard hand. The students come to Johannesburg, wide eyed and ready to make something of their lives till they see how hard it is to survive in Johannesburg. It has gone so far that as some students turning to gambling and some taking part in medical experiments to fund their students. It has been reported that even males have also joined in on this “form of hustle”. They sell their bodies to wealthy old, bi-sexual men for money and a good time. Restaurants that double as nightclubs like Cubana in Green Point are playgrounds for the rich and well known that prey on young girls and promise them the world. When the night is over, these students that are taken to hotels and shown an even “greater time” and are given money for that “time”. Sex is exchanged by these students to men that are old enough to be their grandfathers. No thought is given to the dangers of having sex with these men because in most cases they do not use protection. These men convince these young unsuspecting girls that because they are wealthy and well connected that there is no need to worry and they are safe.

What Happened to making money the honest, hard way? Has having morals and values gone out the window and animalistic survival instincts kicked in? Have these students been dealt such a hard life, that they see objectifying their bodies as the only option?  Surely there are other ways!
