本文介绍了Ukuphanda的概念，这是一个祖鲁语动词，用来描述发生在南非索韦托和哈曼斯克拉尔地区商业性工作之外的性换钱交易。与撒哈拉以南非洲其他地区的民族志文献一致，有人认为，在酒馆以性换取金钱的妇女并不自我认同为商业性工作者，也不会受到社区的污名。与商业性工作（约翰内斯堡希尔布劳的商业性工作的特点是）不同的是，人们认为商业性工作与短裙和其他暴露的服装有关，酒馆里的性换钱交易被认为更私密、模糊和非正式。据了解，从事非正式性工作的妇女，或“-phanalimali”（“试图得到金钱”），是在利用性换取金钱来维持生计。
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.
