The City of Cape Town has distanced itself from a “malicious” poster that urges residents not to feed homeless people. “The City of Cape Town will handle social cleansing. Do not feed the homeless,” reads the poster shared by a Twitter user who asked what the city is doing to help the homeless. The city distanced itself from the poster, calling it malicious, and said the city had neither designed nor sanctioned it. The city is aware of what appears to be a malicious sticker — it was not designed or sanctioned by the city. We will liaise with the management of the shopping centre where this sticker was apparently spotted,” it said, adding that it sets aside R65m a year to alleviate homelessness.
“The city encourages courts and prosecutors to ensure that rehabilitation is favoured over punitive fines and imprisonment.”
