Bonela reiterates call for legalising sex work

Speaking at an event held ahead of the World AIDS Day commemoration in Moshupa last Wednesday, Felistus Motimedi, who also called for free distribution of condoms to prison inmates, said some men rape sex workers but the victims cannot report the abuse to the police because prostitution is illegal in the country.

"Some HIV positive people among us are fired at work merely because of their HIV status. They are not promoted at work just because they are positive. They are also not granted scholarships, despite their potential to perform better, just because they are positive. As parents we still have difficulty in explaining issues to HIV positive children," said Motimedi.
