World Cup exploited Human traffickers


June 30, 2010 | After hundreds of thousands of football fans poured into South Africa to attend the World Cup, human traffickers have used the tournament to boost their profits.

Many of the traffickers' victims are desperate children trying to escape a life of poverty in neighbouring countries.

Haru Mutasa reports from the South African city of Johannesburg on the influx of exploited children.

Secret footage obtained by Al-Jazeera shows how easy it is to buy a person there.













World Cup fuels television piracy in Jordan



AlJazeeraEnglish | June 30, 2010 | The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world, but many football fans can not afford to watch the tournament on their own televisions this year.

But on the black market, fans are being offered a much cheaper alternative way to watch the event and few are deterred by the law.
