The energy they put towards pushing back the eviction they could channel towards finding work, rehab, or going back home.

1st guy is not South African

The intoxicated gentleman who spoke in the beginning has a foreign accent 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's two free cooked meals and free soap at the shelter, which no one would've given her on the street. Amazing that she finds reason to complain about that.

Its also time for the foreigners to return to their country of origin. SA can take care of its own. Its time we take back SA just like what happened with election 2024. SA belongs to those who were born, by both SA parents. Am tired of these people . A person cannot walk on the side walks. Look at our railways

Go to the shelter, please 🥺🙏

Its time the city gets cleaned up. Stop complaining

❤But how can this people put up camps in the street they got families because they don't want to obey their parents rules

The soap she gets is not good enough; the foid she gets is not good enough but she claims she has a right to live on the pavement in the city centre!? What kind of logic is that?

Unless they put there to embarrass the city

They must go, they can’t live in the streets

First guy probably wasn't homeless back in Zimbabwe.

I have sympathy with these homeless people. BUT calling upon their "right" to live one the streets instead of availing themselves of the provided shelters? And who do they think they can "hide" from on the streets, and what are they "hiding" from in this way? '

Shelters don't tolerate substance abuse and therefore they are not willing to go to shelters. It is shocking how openly drugs are used on the streets and the amount of used needles lying on the streets. It is generally not safe to pass these areas as these people get abusive if you don't give them money. The degradation of open spaces is an eye sore. I avoid Town as much as possible as this problem is all across Town.

That guy is not South African

More effort needs to be put into rehabilitation. Challenge is def substance abuse, or the this is why agriculture should be a bigger investment. These people would have purpose,food and shelter. Less crime. Sometimes I think these political leaders are not so intelligent... Make me the president I'll show you... I'm serious.

What rights?

the first guy is a Zimbabwean

It is important to recognise that homelessness is a complex issue with varying causes and responses. Some individuals find themselves homeless due to the loss of work or unemployment, and they tend to appreciate any assistance that helps them get off the streets. These individuals often view support, such as shelters and basic hygiene supplies, as valuable resources. However, there is another group whose homelessness is tied to poor life choices and substance abuse. These individuals often resist rules and structure, preferring the streets over shelters or staying with family. They may complain about the quality of assistance, such as the type of soap or deodorant provided, even when these are better than having nothing. Understanding these different perspectives is crucial for developing effective solutions. Addressing the needs of those willing to accept help requires a different approach than engaging with those who remain resistant to change due to their lifestyle choices and addiction. Both groups need support, but tailored strategies are essential to effectively assist each one.

How do you evict somebody from the streets? When the Absolutely No Clue party came to power in 1994 they promised homes. They have kept NONE of their promises!

I just hot the last guy today in cape town, he was explaining me what is going on in the shelter, apparently they have to pay R75 per day in the shelter. He also told me he cannot go back were he use to stay. Is mom and grandma passes and the gangs were using him to commit crime. I understood were hes coming from, but i told him, he and God is the only one who can get him of the streets and thats not the way to live. Here's to many beautifull things to live for.

OMW it’s so COLD 🥶 I don’t know what the answer is unfortunately 😢

As with the taxi problems, this isn't going away without magic.... Welcome to Southafristan

Why is the HSF not defending them in Cape Town coz in Johannesburg the city can't do anything the HSF is always fighting them

They get things for nothing, but still not satisfied…..

Watse rights julle mos mahala jive 😂😂

"We are not animals, we are human beings" 🥺

😂😂we not animal

Where are these vulnerable people To go???

tjo! wondering what the homeless did for this much attention, there are no other issues that cape town can look into....this is for real mos

No tax no Right

First guy Zimbabweans😂😂😂

The city of cape town must give this people a place to stay because they housed the people of Eastern Cape in Cape town the city deposed to develop in there area and give our people houses that is DA 100%😮😢

Waste of time...they will be back in no time. What happened to the City fining them? Like seriously, fining a homeless person? 😂😂😂

Go to Nkandla lots of land there and can help clean the fire pool

My heart goes out to these poor people. Sorry though, the City provides shelters as good as any in the world. The main problem is drugs and their perceived right to be on drugs all the time.
