Die kwessie van bedel en straatmense is \u2019n hoogs emosionele een en is nie uniek aan Kaapstad nie, meen Patricia van der Ross. Stad Kaapstad se burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit kom nadat \u2019n inwoner van Goodwood vertel het hoe sy uitgevloek is deur \u2019n bedelaar omdat sy niks gehad het om te gee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inwoner vertel dat sy Dinsdagoggend op haar stoep gesit het toe \u2019n bedelaar, bekend as \u201cCharlie\u201d, by haar hek verby stap en vra vir kos. \u201cEk s\u00ea toe ek het nie. Hy het \u2019n wit sak in sy hand gehad en my drom was toe nog buite, want weens die taxistaking is die vullis nie Maandag verwyder nie,\u201d verduidelik die inwoner, wat weens vrees vir die straatmense wat haar ken anoniem wil bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea \u201cCharlie\u201d gooi toe die sak in die drom. \u201cEk het eers gewag en gaan kyk wat in die sak is. Iemand het vir hom \u2019n halwe wit brood, piesangs, appels, lemoene en pasta gegee. Ek het dit uitgehaal en toe die vullisverwyderaars kom, dit vir hulle gegee. Die kos was skoon,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar sy meen die straatmense is nie honger nie; hulle kyk of jy alleen is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs jy niks het om te gee nie, word jy gevloek,\u201d s\u00ea di\u00e9 inwoner van Townsendstraat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy rig \u2019n pleidooi aan die inwoners van Goodwood \u201com nie vir die straatmense kos te gee nie; jy lok hulle net in jou buurt in\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Stad het nog altyd mense aangemoedig om bedelaars en straatmense te help deur te skenk aan organisasies wat toegerus is om meer langtermyn-intervensies te verskaf en die persoon vir altyd van die straat af te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2019n Bord kos of kontant help net vir die simptoom, maar ignoreer die probleem, aangesien die persoon sal aanhou bedel en op straat bly,\u201d verduidelik Van der Ross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar is die Stad besig met \u2019n inisiatief om bewustheid te skep oor die lot van mense wat op straat woon. Die inisiatief beklemtoon die belangrikheid daarvan om behoeftiges \u2019n hupstoot te gee eerder as aalmoese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Stad se departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling en van vroe\u00ebkinderontwikkeling doen \u2019n beroep op alle gemeenskappe om mense wat op straat woon op \u2019n volhoubare manier by te staan. In plaas daarvan om kos en ander artikels te gee aan mense wat op straat woon, ondersteun eerder skuilings wat volhoubare sorg bied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Ross meen hoewel dit intu\u00eftief soos die regte ding kan voel om te doen, vererger dit die situasie vir mense op straat en verhoed dit hulle om na \u2019n beter lewensgehalte te streef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMoedig mense wat op straat woon aan om die skuilings te gebruik waar hulle \u2019n ete, stort, bed en maatskaplikewerkdienste kan kry,\u201d s\u00ea Van der Ross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy meen inwoners moet pleks van goedhartigheid betoon eerder straatmense na \u2019n gevestigde skuiling verwys.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeur \u2019n skuiling te ondersteun, help lede van die publiek daardie mense wat op straat woon om toegang te verkry tot geleenthede om hulself te verbeter. Hul situasie word vererger deur mense wat hulle op die strate onderhou, waar hulle aan teenspoed blootgestel word,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
