The Boss: How three women were lured into a life of exploitation in Durban

Told to change into lingerie for a man they knew only as the Boss, three women who thought they had moved to Durban to work at a call centre were instead ordered to strip on camera for men who paid to watch.

The Boss: How three women were lured into a life of exploitation in Durban

Three women deceived into working at a Durban call center were lured into a life of exploitation by a 65-year-old Durban businessman, who appeared in court facing 20 charges. The women were recruited in Johannesburg under false pretenses of employment and sent to a house they were unfamiliar with. They were locked in, prevented from contacting anyone, and forced to perform sexual acts on camera for men who paid to watch.

The 65-year-old allegedly groped and sexually assaulted two of the women, while two others orchestrated the entire operation. The case centers around the recruitment, transportation, and sexual exploitation of the women for commercial gain.
