Restaurant meals generally cost about $10–$20 per person. Some restaurants include standard German cuisine on their menus, while others offer more exotic game entrees (e.g., ostrich, kudu, oryx, springbok).

A report published during the year by the University of Minho's Children Studies Institute noted that although child laborers in factories were common 5 years ago, efforts by government and NGO programs have almost eliminated this problem.

There are no reliable estimates available on the extent of trafficking in the country; however, children in prostitution is widely apparent, even to casual observers.
