“They took down the name of the street and gave us the fine,” said Kemp. He matriculated in Joburg, and worked in warehouse logistics before he got addicted to tik. Stephen Snyman, 41, has been homeless for the past six months. He was released from prison after serving a 14-year sentence. He sleeps in the Garden. Snyman makes a living by retrieving old shoes from refuse bins and repairing them.

Adams said he nearly died of TB recently. For him braving the cold nights in the Garden is safer than sleeping at the shelters. He goes to Somerset Hospital every second day. She’s been homeless for nine years and was handed a R500 fine for sleeping on the pavement.“They asked me for my address. I told them I don’t have one. I threw away the fine.” Her ID and belongings were confiscated, allegedly by CCID officials. She also has TB and receives treatment from Somerset Hospital.

cci_network Find it odd that one of the people claimed he had been fined for loitering. There is no by-law that prohibits loitering in Cape Town.
