Cape Town – The Fish Hoek Community Policing Forum has come under fire for labelling the homeless as criminals and asking residents not to “feed or support individuals walking through residential areas or those begging at street intersections, outside shopping malls and other public places”.The CPF wrote: “You may have noticed that there is an increasing number of homeless/street people back on the streets in the Fish Hoek valley.
“It’s discouraging that this is out there as a message that discourages public engagement and public sensitivity to the plight of other people. It entrenched a class and culture agenda, and that is unfortunate,” Davids said. "I’m working mainly through shelters to create more structured soup kitchens around the City,” Diliberto added.
“The latter often increases the risk of prolonged homelessness. We encourage residents to donate to registered organisations working with street people, instead of direct handouts. The City said last week that it was finalising the closure of the Strandfontein temporary shelter for street people, with the site expected to be empty by Wednesday.
In a statement, MID said 40 individuals were currently sleeping in a few tents erected in the park by a community organisation with no access to food, clean water or ablution facilities.
But walking the streets after 9am is criminal now. Is it not?
The RLF is calling upon Fish Hoek CPF to fight gangsters and criminal syndicates and not fellow Azanians.
Remeber that guy from Tshwane last week vlok_andre ? Seems like this is a thing where the DA cracks the whip
I had cops hassle me the other day for feeding the homeless in my JHB neighborhood. The state is destroying the soul of this country.
Happening all over, not only in Fish Hoek. Our doorbell rings every day. Desperate people begging for help. Another good story, proudly brought to you by the ANC communist regime. Hope you feel good about yourself, ANC vottahs. This is on you.
