and the government to supply them with food and shelter. The recyclers live in plastic makeshift shacks at the banks of Hennops River.
“I came here to do some recycling work. But now we are able to do anything because of coronavirus. We don’t have anything to eat. Our children back home are also suffering. We live in plastic shelters. When it rains life is tough but when there’s no rain we can survive and take care of our families.”
“We only heard about it through the radio. We don’t even know whether we have it or not. We call upon the government to come and conduct tests on us,” says one homeless person. “This coronavirus is giving us problems. Some us, we do not have partners. We are breadwinners ourselves, and we are here to make end meets, so using our own hands.”
A local resident Steven van der Westhuizen, who is trying to help them, is appealing to government and business to intervene.
