Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said the city was happy about the significant take-up at its safe spaces, and restoring public places for public use.
CAPE TOWN - An eviction process to stop people from living on the streets of Cape Town was completed on Friday, with over 160 people relocated to safe spaces.
This after the City of Cape Town was granted a court order for homeless people to be removed from various sites in the CBD. The sheriff of the court on Friday evicted people who illegally occupied areas along Buitengracht Street, Foregate Square, Helen Suzman Boulevard, and the foreshore, among others.
Geordin Hill-Lewis said that the city was happy about the significant take-up of its safe spaces, and restoring public places for public use."I was taken away here last week actually to safe space three, we come there, you get treated worse than a criminal that's in Pollsmoor. So, they take us out there. This morning they come fetch us they take us to safe space two, they tell us there's no space.""Here's a lot of people who don't have family... Nothing...
Hill-Lewis said some of the homeless were assisted to return to their communities, while others were linked to provincial social workers.
