The centre is said to be a first of a kind and is led by Ilse Maartens, the branch manager for MES Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur goal at MES is to make the services that people need to get back on their feet, accessible,\u201d said Anelle Erasmus, marketing manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre can provide shelter to 40 men and 20 women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-than-just-a-shelter\">More than just a shelter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about giving someone a meal and a place to sleep. We are here to remind them about the dreams they once had for their lives. We are their helping hand in rekindling those dreams and taking the steps to living a constructive life as a reintegrated member of society,\u201d Erasmus added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b3cf9076\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7618\/bfee4ad0a2c14e0d8496612ae2f2bfe3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/f00b85502a78489783753241d49a1183.jpg\" title=\"Premier Alan Winde with Provincial Minister of Social Development, Sharna Fernandez (centre) and ward councillor, Franchesca Walker (far left).\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Premier Alan Winde with Provincial Minister of Social Development, Sharna Fernandez (centre) and ward councillor, Franchesca Walker (far left).<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the walkabout, the MES team was able to showcase the facilities at the centre to the premier and minister.

By refurbishing the building, MES has stepped up to partner with the Western Cape government to help address this issue.
