The 10 men, who started off planting spinach in June, now have a thriving business supplying beachfront residents, nonprofit organisations and even a major chain store with a variety of fresh vegetables.
These will be cut back to two permanent open safe spaces for men — one at Albert Park and another near the beachfront — and the Strollers building for women. Greef grew up wanting to be a football player, but is happy that circumstances have turned him into a farmer. Greef hopes the city will allow the group to continue using the land after the lockdown is eventually lifted. “After Covid, I don’t know. I hope we are all going to be able to hold on to the property, to turn this into an opportunity to become businessmen.”“I want to try and bring my family here. Where I am from, there are no opportunities for work. That is why I came here,” Greef said.“We spent a lot of time playing soccer and playing cards and doing nothing.
Most of the early sales came from passersby and from NGOs which were involved in supplying food and services to the camp. The municipality has shifted significantly in its attitude towards the homeless since the appointment of mayor Mxolisi Kaunda and deputy Belinda Scott last year. By the time the lockdown was declared, the city already had a joint forum with NGOs, which was able to provide assistance to nearly 3 000 people. The city has spent R60-million on housing and looking after the homeless and has budgeted R20-million for 2021 to fund the permanent facilities for them.
A 'vaccine' for the complex lethal Covid-19 Coronavirus after only a few months of 'research' but no vaccine for the relatively less lethal 'common cold' virus after centuries of fiddling with test tubes; what are the pharmaceutical companies not telling us about the common cold?
And they say we are lazy.
