We have been fighting this fight well over 4 years now. Our hearts have always and will always beat for our street guys and girls. We understand the elements they face daily. From food to protection, safety and security. The street life is not always a choice.
The Post Office behind Verwoerdpark Spar, Gemini Place, in Alberton has always been a very sensitive area for us.
Most of the faces we know and it makes communication a whole lot easier but the eviction not as much. In order to keep the peace we go in and clean up. We've given tents, relocated people, offered Rehabilitation and soon we find the very clean up to look the same.
We have the same discussions with the community... "They have nowhere to go. They come here to find safety"
But in reality we know they don't just peacefully turn in for the night and leave the next morning...
And now we are left to feel we need to defend them.
We have the community up in arms regarding your behaviour, the late night fights, your mess, the smell, the crime. It's difficult for us to fight for you now.
In the same, our community needs to be protected. We have children we raise in these environments and in a perfect world we would not want to expose them to any of these circumstances.
At this point we don't have a solution.
As far as our knowledge goes the ground has been sold.
Can we please demolish this building now and build.
it still doesn't fix the problem of and
Please may we have some input from our Ward councillors. Tag a ward councillor.
