Two weeks ago at Simonsig Spar I saw this hobo sitting around as the wife I pulled up for some shopping. I felt bad for the guy, shame, he must not know where he's next meal might come from.

Anyway, we get the groceries and some Steers for lunch. Upon walking back my wife gives the guy a packet of french-fries from Steers. We head on over to pharmacy to fill a prescription and upon returning to the car he is there trying to tell her something about the fries her has hardly eaten from.

I try not to get annoyed but after half a minute she gives up on trying to understand and we leave. Clearly he was there for other reasons I guess. She told him she will get him something else but he kept repeating whatever he was rambling on about.

That is why IDGAF. Go and do the honourable thing in order so you don't become a burden to the rest of us.

Most homeless people have schizophrenia or other psychological disorders. I bought a small pizza for a guy once who was digging in the bin at the entrance of a pizza joint. When I tried to give it to him he literally ran away. It can actually be rather risky interacting with them at all.

A lot of them also dont want to reconnect to their families as they often left due to abuse.
There is an old guy on Obs (CT) who doesnt want to stay with his family as they often beat him, and take his welfare money, so he rather lives on the street.

Why did the residents not take the money that they collected to build a shelter or even pay towards a shelter?

I can understand that it can be a nuisance for people, and they pis and sht where they want to but where should they go? To the karoo and just starve and then disease spread.

The city can take some of the land they own and build a nice looking shelter. Tell the hobos to come and help with the hard labour so that they can feel proud of something that they helped with, for themselves.

Its either that or we go with the plan of @Rouxenator

They will have to make it big enough for all the refugees that will be coming from the rest of SA.
