Political analyst Tinyiko Maluleke says it is shameful that it took the coronavirus for government to remember that there are homeless people, as well as those without water. via SABCNewsOnline

Gauteng Acting Social Development MEC Panyaza Lesufi has been heading the project of housing and feeding the homeless.

Political analyst Tinyiko Maluleke says it is worrying that government has been re-active in providing the basic services it should have provided on a regular basis. The political fundi also warns those who are suddenly under government’s care, not to get too comfortable.Despite the warning however, some of the 125 homeless people being housed at a Community Hall in Kempton Park, in Ekurhuleni, are just happy to be off the streets for now, even if their new-found comfort may be short-lived.

Some of the homeless people say they’ve already been engaged by social workers on the kind of assistance they require. However, if these efforts do not yield results, they are facing a strong possibility of again having to fend for themselves on the streets.“I don’t want to go back to the streets because it’s dangerous, so we need help to get a better place to stay.”

Where did government all of a sudden obtain money to distribute nearly 100k jojo tanks to communities without water? Some of those communities have been without water for a decade! Jojo's have also been distributed to places without water to fill the tanks. Urgh!😡
