The DA in the Eastern Cape has called on victims of se_x-for-jobs schemes and housing scams to urgently come forward.
Provincial spokeswoman for women Georgia Faldman said: “The only way to combat the scourge is for victims to come forward and open cases against culprits, who are sometimes community leaders or government officials.”
She was speaking in Port Elizabeth yesterday at a press briefing with DA women network federal leader Nomafrench Mbombo and provincial leader Nqaba Bhanga.
“Many vulnerable, struggling women have had to use their bodies as CVs.
“Recently, three women in Missionvale kasi in Nelson Mandela Bay told me they had been approached to sleep with men to get jobs in the expanded public works programme.”
She said women in Komani in the Enoch Mgijima Municipality were being subjected to abuse to get RDPs.
Bhanga said he had requested the Commission for Gender Equality to probe this illegal practice.
