DAGGA FUELLING PIGG’S PEAK SEX TRADE

PIGG’S PEAK – Ever wondered what fuels the influx of sex workers in Pigg’s Peak? – dagga trade.

Dagga dealers literally flash cash, far more than full-time employees who have to wait for the end of the month for their salaries.
There are hundreds of sex workers in the small town though only among 50 to 100 are willing to openly market themselves.

Although it is not possible to easily identify them walking around town in very revealing attire, they have come up with ways of selling themselves so that they are not easily detected by the police.
Due to the high demand for sex workers, throngs of them are said to be benefitting. Their ages range from mid-teens to about 40 years of age.
This publication interviewed some of the sex workers scattered across the town.

Their major hideouts are known but will not be revealed to protect their identities and as per their request.
The latest influx of the sex workers has left local authorities such as the police as well as the town council puzzled as to what is driving the illicit trade.
According to a self confessed sex worker, *Roxie, there is a lot of money floating around Pigg’s Peak mainly due to the dagga trade.

Smuggling

This is so especially this time of the year when dagga is being harvested in readiness for smuggling to neighbouring South Africa (SA) where it is given the same status as precious gold by dealers.
*Roxie said dagga dealers are often referred to as ‘the farmers’ and they are never shy to flash their money.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary sex clients pay as much as E100 for a brief session but dagga dealers pay far more than this.
“They will give you as much as E1 000,” said *Roxie.

She said this is one of the main reasons Pigg’s Peak is loved in comparison to some of the areas such as Matsapha or Mbabane where sex workers also pry the bars.
*Roxie said dagga farmers spend several months in the bush tending to their dagga.

“After spending several months in the bush, they are hungry for sex,” *Roxie responded with a giggle.
She said during this time of the year, even sex workers from other parts of town travel to Pigg’s Peak to cash in on the booming business.
