Sep, Vol. Author s : Wojcicki, Janet Maia. Abstract: This article introduces the concept of ukuphanda, a Zulu verb that is used to describe the sex-for-money exchanges that take place outside of commercial sex work in Soweto and Hammanskraal area, South Africa.
In line with the ethnographic literature from others areas of sub-Saharan Africa, it is argued that women who exchange sex for money in taverns do not self-identify as commercial sex workers and experience less stigma from the community. Unlike commercial sex work as characterized by the commercial sex work in Hillbrow, Johannesburg , which is understood to be associated with short skirts and other revealing attire, sex-for-money exchange in the taverns is viewed as more private, ambiguous and informal.
Women who work as informal sex workers, or "-phandela imali" 'try to get money' , are understood to be using sex-for-money exchange to survive financially.
