The initiative, led in partnership with the City&#8217;s Displaced Persons Unit (DPU), law enforcement, the City&#8217;s Solid Waste, and the Community Police Forum (CPF), with support from sub-council manager Roxanne Moses and sub-council chair Phindile Maxiti, targeted Birkenhead Road, Blaauwberg, the Old Tourist Centre and the beachfront, where public complaints have been on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-concerns-addressed\">Concerns addressed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The local Ward councillor Sue van der Linde said the coordinated effort showed meaningful progress and addressed long-standing concerns from the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation focused on Birkenhead Road, Blaauwberg, the Old Tourist Centre and the beachfront, areas with the presence of rough sleepers and where makeshift camps had grown increasingly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Linde welcomed the results, noting residents had long raised concerns about public spaces being overtaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While we remain compassionate towards those who are struggling we cannot ignore the fact that vagrants living on our beachfront and streets have become an eyesore and a source of discomfort for the community. Our duty is to keep these areas clean, safe, and accessible to everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the operation was deemed a success by officials it also brought disruption for those forced to move. One of the vagrants who had been sleeping near the Old Tourist Centre, said: &#8220;I have nowhere else to go. Every time we are moved, I just find another corner. I wish there was a proper place where I could stay.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-residents-can-help\">How residents can help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Linde stressed that operations alone cannot keep Ward 113 clean and safe. She urged residents to play their part by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reporting rough sleepers via the City Emergency Line: 021 480 7700.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Disposing responsibly at local dumps rather than leaving items on sidewalks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Donating clothing, bedding, or goods to St Luke&#8217;s Hospice Shop (248 Blaauwberg Road) or TLC Outreach Projects (18 Pentz Drive).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supporting shelters instead of giving money or food directly on the streets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Volunteering for beach clean-ups or local beautification projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Please don&#8217;t try to move people on your own,&#8221; Van der Linde warned. &#8220;This must be handled by trained officials for everyone&#8217;s safety.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-ahead\">Looking ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two major initiatives are on the horizon for Ward 113:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deployment of community safety officers: From September, five full-time officers will be stationed in the ward, monitoring hotspot areas and deterring rough sleeping between operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plans for a local shelter: Councillors van der Linde and Jonathan Mills were working to secure property for a dedicated shelter and skills programme, aimed at long-term rehabilitation and reintegration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Homelessness is not a crime, but no-one has the right to claim a public space as their own,&#8221; Van der Linde said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By working with City teams, enforcement, and our residents, we can keep Ward 113 clean and safe while also striving to create real opportunities for those who need help.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sa4_13542.jpg\"
