The first homeless count in the City of Tshwane, which was conducted in October 2022 and launched this week, has revealed that unemployment is the single main cause of homelessness in the city.
People experiencing homelessness were counted at night in seven regions of Tshwane by volunteers, who also gave out food parcels. The total number of people counted was 4,177, and of these 3,408 were questioned.
The report was authored by Professor Stephan de Beer, the director of the Centre for Faith and Community at UP. On Monday he presented the report at an event attended by about 100 people at Hatfield campus.
