A Durban businessman is accused in a trafficking case of luring three women to the city and then forcing them to strip on camera for paying viewers. According to reports, the women believed they were coming to work at a call centre, but they are alleged to be ordered to change into lingerie and to undress in front of men while being watched.
The accounts say the women were directed by a man they knew only as “the Boss,” who instructed them to perform sexual acts on camera for an audience. The reporting describes how the exploitation is tied to the online viewing arrangement, with customers paying to watch the women. The outlets provide similar narratives about the recruitment and the coercion involved, including that the women were deceived about the nature of the work.
While the articles focus on the same alleged scheme and key details—deception about a call centre job, the “Boss” intermediary, and forced on-camera stripping—individual phrasing differs, with some pieces emphasizing the women’s accounts of being ordered to dress in lingerie and others describing the broader pattern of exploitation in Durban.
