Irish brothels advertise for employees in South African newspapers
An Irish-based company with the dubious name of BBC Billionaires Boys Club is advertising for “upmarket ladies” to work in an “elite venue” in Ireland.
The ad was carried in the classified advertising section of several newspapers in Cape Town this week.
It reads: “An elite venue for the discerning gent based in Ireland will provide guaranteed return airfares, travellers cheques and accommodation.”
The advertisers are seeking to recruit women aged 18-30, in particular those who are coloured or of European or Malay origin, with valid ID documentation. They also said that it would be “a plus” for women to have a passport.
Anyone interested in the work was asked to call a South African mobile phone number to arrange a face-to-face interview.
A woman called Gia who answered the phone yesterday said that she was recruiting women for a luxury, elite service in Ireland.
She confirmed that Billionaires Boys Club was a fictitious name used for convenience. However, she refused to comment on who is operating the club in Ireland, or whether she had received many responses.
Applicants are informed that they will not be working at an escort agency but will be provided with their own accommodation, where they will meet and entertain clients.
Girls are told that they will spend a three-week holiday in Ireland, with the guarantee of 40,000 South African rand, or around 4,500. Potential daily earnings of 4,000 euro are mentioned, even though the highest-earning Irish prostitutes are unlikely to make more than 1,500 per day.
The average annual wage for South Africans is 8,150.
A spokesperson for the South African embassy in Dublin said officials were unaware of any trend of South African women coming to Ireland to work in prostitution.
In recent years, many women from Eastern Europe have been recruited to work in Irish lap-dancing clubs, escort agencies and brothels.
