Earlier this year the Gauteng premier proclaimed on national television that prostitution should be legalised. She said: ‘The best is to recognise commercial sex work, make sure it has different support systems … have a designated area, register people, let them be subjected to periodic health tests, and also let them be subjected to what me and you are subjected to – tax.’[1]
