Some of the homeless people who have moved into the Cape Town ‘safe space’ under the Culemborg Bridge. Mayor Dan Plato says there is no reason for anyone to sleep rough or to set up illegal structures on sidewalks as there are beds available in shelters.Cape Town mayor Dan Plato says the controversy over the city council fining homeless people started inside the"ANC's outrage-manufacturing machine".
Opening a council meeting on Wednesday, Plato said the opposition ANC in Cape Town tried to paint the city as one that does not care for its homeless. "The complete opposite is actually true – we do more to protect, assist and help our homeless than any other city in this country," he said. A month ago, the SA Human Rights Commission said it wanted an urgent meeting with the city council after receiving"hundreds" of complaints that the enforcement of street by-laws had resulted in homeless people being fined.
Care to elaborate😳😳
Apartheid was never defeated. Like HIV, apartheid reconfigured itself and it's favorite host is the Judiciary

Yes true, there is no other town or city that is arresting the homeless...

Like giving them spot fines ?

Concerns raised as murders in Cape Town shoot up at weekend despite SANDF presenceNearly 50 people were killed in Cape Town at the weekend, but this was a decline from previous payday weekends. It's safe to say Bheki Cele is a clueless politician who's out of his depth. South Africans were fooled into believing this loud mouth can protect them. Another national disgrace.
