Submissions
on Zoning, Licensing and Regulation of Sex Shops etc to local city
councils
We believe that prostitution, pornography and prostitution-related
businesses like sex shops, escort agencies, steam baths, massage parlours,
strip clubs should be illegal. They are in opposition to God's law
and are exploitative and destructive. However, local city councils
are unable to ban these them because national government makes those
laws. Instead, like cities around the world, city councils limit sexually
oriented businesses (SOBs), and the secondary harmful effects (increased
crime, decreased property prices etc) they cause through zoning, licensing
and other regulations. Cape Town is the first city to go through the
process. These submissions were made by concerned Christians to the
Cape Town Council and were well recieved. They could be adapted and
used by other cities in South Africa when those cities consider the
zoning of SOBs. There will also be further opportunities to make presentations
to the Cape Town Council possibly in July or August 2003.
