 The most recent legislative change was the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007, section 11 which added Section 20(1)(aA) of the SOA, which states that any person who has unlawful carnal intercourse or commits an act of indecency with any other person for reward, is guilty of an offence, effectively criminalising the client as well as the prostitute.In 2017 a report by the South African Law Reform Commission, recommended that the current law be retained (preferred option), or that prostitution should be decriminalised but third party involvement should remain illegal.Decriminalisation has been under active discussion since 2009.
