Non-profit organisations and community members have been fuming for the past two days after it came to light that Mogale City Public Safety had removed belongings from the homeless twice in less than a week – all within what is regarded as one of the coldest weeks of 2022.
It all started on Thursday, June 9 when Public Safety officials went around town removing blankets, clothing and other belongings from people living on the streets. Knowing about the cold front sweeping through the country, charity organisations around Krugersdorp quickly sprung into action to assist with warm blankets before the cold front hit. But before the coldest night of the year even arrived, Public Safety once again took to the streets on Tuesday, June 14 to remove the new blankets and other belongings.
The question is, how do you survive on the street without blankets, warm clothing or even shoes in temperatures of minus two degrees?
