The presence of a homeless shelter in this prime location may negatively affect property values in the surrounding area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the petition, which has climbed to more than 500 signatures, residents voiced their concern about the impact on the economy, if a safe space was opened so close to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Muizenberg beach area is crucial for tourism and local businesses, the proposed shelter location may deter visitors and impact the local economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-security\">Safety, security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Other concerns and objections in the petition included safety and security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cResidents already pay for the Muizenberg Improvement District (MID) to enhance the area\u2019s safety and appeal. We also pay high levies for security services, which have significantly improved safety in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Subcouncil 19 meeting on Monday 15 July, MID chair Simon Roberts requested the proposed location be removed from the agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere has already been an outcry among the citizens and much talk about potential legal interdicts, negative social media and press campaigns, as well as a public petition,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;font-weight:700;font-family:proximanova-bold, sans-serif;color:#212121;font-size:15px;\">READ:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/residents-reject-proposed-site-for-homeless-safe-space-in-muizenberg-20221122\" style=\"box-sizing:border-box;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);text-decoration-line:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#00086c;\" target=\"_blank\">Residents reject proposed site for homeless safe space in Muizenberg<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe proposed location is in the middle of our beachfront CBD and could severely impact tourism and businesses, undermining many years of urban renewal efforts by the MID, and the private and public sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phinius Sebatsane, founder and CEO of the Rea Thusana Foundation a non-profit organisation (NPO) serving people experiencing homelessness in Muizenberg, said he supports the City\u2019s agenda to build more spaces in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s simply not enough space for the homeless elderly, couples and people with disabilities,\u201d he said. \u201cThe homeless numbers are slowly growing because we live near a bleeding community of Capricorn and Vrygrond and that ends up bleeding into Muizenberg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-complex-issue\">Complex issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on his work with street people, Sebatsane said the homeless need to be treated as individuals as everyone\u2019s case is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur work is complex where an individual approach is needed because people have different needs,\u201d he said. \u201cThey want to be helped as a community in the community and not be sent to a different area because some have been living on the streets of Muizenberg for 10 to 20 years.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to Sidmouth Road as the proposed site for a safe space, Sebatsane said businesses, residents and organisations need to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSidmouth Road is a sensitive area and three things can change. For example, the design of the safe space has to look dignified and beautiful and not just be ugly-looking containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSecondly, there has to be programmes to rehabilitate the homeless, it can\u2019t just be a space to sleep. There must be a holistic programme where people can learn and heal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;font-weight:700;font-family:proximanova-bold,
