Year after year people move into Cape Town and the DA is just expected to build every person a house, school, clinic, and infrastructure all while trying to maintain what we've got. Is this really feasible?

That's the whole point of being government. To provide and to pay.

Every city has to deal with that especially bigger ones

This is such an important conversation. Having photographed around the castle grounds, I’ve seen heroin use in front of kids which is a direct result of living rough. The moat around the castle is a human toilet in specific areas and further down the road at the end of Woodstock main road as it turns into the parade I had to stop my Uber to jump out to stop a woman being raped by a guy living rough across from the old District Six club. I feel empathy for their circumstances. It’s hard to bear constantly on an emotional level that people live so rough in the city you love, however, two things can be true at once. I feel empathy but I also feel that there is danger to citizens who have to walk through those areas, danger to tourism which we need, danger to those living rough through drugs and abuse. It is public land and citizens should not feel unsafe in their own city. As for my background, I worked in assisted living and harm reduction with prostitutes and addicts with mental health issues in Australia.

ANC politics. They want to destroy the DA hold on the Western Cape. It's spitefulness, and also a desperate attempt of the ANC to destabilize Cape Town and the Western Cape.

Castle 1652 - homeless people squatting outside. Castle 2023 - homeless people squatting outside.

No one has the right to reserve a public space for exclusive use. There are ngo's who have offered assistance but due to political meddling, this issue cannot be resolved.

The responsibility is their parents, and no law

Also, they didnt grow out of the ground there or lose their home in town. They came from somewhere. They must go back to somewhere

Some of them.prefer 2 live like this... our beautiful City looks Terrible 😢 not jus in CT but joburg, durban too. The foreign traders mess up.

The City of Cape Town is trying everything humanely possible to get people of the streets.More than any other city in South Africa. People should really go and have a look at all the good inesiatives the City have invested in.

It is historically accurate tbf.

Minimising people need to homes, the city setting fire to these makeshift homes.

Should have been stopped from the outset. Now become a Dinosaur.

We don't have enough shelters in SA all over full stop. Where are the shelters for abused women with young children...? I ask you !

Who keeps grinding coffee in the background....

N G O,Immigration lawyers,Helen Suzman foundation better do something.

"'scurrel"" .. is this an alternative word for crime?

Homelessness is not a poverty issue. The academic literature is well established. And this insistence that nobody in that situation ever made a bad decision is dishonest. Cape Talk needs radio hosts that are educated and intelligent. This guy is an embarrassment.

Great sight for visiting tourists, but they don’t seem to care about the financial gains to the depleted economy!

Really R350 puts you on a better path?

Go speak to them, they will tell you they got paid to set up there and get regular top ups.

With all the wealthy people and rich property owners in Cape Town ....its so sad.

And so nobody EVER address the real elephant in the room : uncontrolled births

The DA are squarely to blame .. their anti poor policies and gentrification initiatives in the city and surrounds are a total disaster.. they have no will nor wherewithal to deal with the low cost housing backlog.. they need to GO

Hypcracy democracy
