"Sugar Daddies"

TUESDAY 29 JULY 2008 - SABC 3 - 21H30

This week Special Assignment looks at the so-called “sugar daddy” phenomenon in South Africa. Although not new, this growing trend of young girls relying financially on wealthy men is cause for concern – since the HIV infection rate in South Africa is not decreasing. Previously, young girls resorted to this lifestyle because they wanted to escape from poverty. Experts indicate the question nowadays should rather be: are these girls victims - or rather accomplices?  

Watch Special Assignment as we ask if rampant consumerism is to blame for the girls’ behaviour. 

Sugar Daddies is produced Lebogang Mabusela and filmed by Megan Raubenheimer.
