Van die klagtes het ontlasting op sypaadjies, dwelmgebruik, betrokkenheid by misdaad en aggresiewe gedrag ingesluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dit is &#8216;n moeilike saak om aan te pak omdat van di\u00e9 mense nie &#8216;n ander heenkome het nie. Sommiges het wel familie om by te woon, maar verkies glo om op straat te leef.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die BVM het verlede jaar aangedui hulle is op soek na &#8216;n vennoot om &#8216;n oornag-fasiliteit op die been te bring.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Daar is &#8216;n skuiling in Worcester wat gewillig is om die straatslapers te huisves. Van die mense vind dit egter moeilik om daar in te skakel. Om hierdie rede het die munisipaliteit diensverskaffers genader om te kwoteer vir &#8216;n meer permanente oplossing vir die behuisingsprobleem. Ongelukkig was die terugvoer van die diensverskaffers nie waarvoor ons gehoop het nie. Dit kan dus &#8216;n ruk neem voordat die probleem opgelos kan word,&#8221; het Hannelie Botha, &#8216;n woordvoerder vir die munisipaliteit, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/worcesterstandard\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/StraatslaapJan2_39785.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Van die inwoners se klagtes is dat dit onhigi\u00ebnies is waar die straatslapers hulself tuismaak, met rommel wat rondl\u00ea en &#8216;n gebrek aan ablusiegeriewe. Foto: verskaf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Standard<\/em> het in September verlede jaar berig dat die BVM deur sy behuisings- en menslike nedersettingsafdeling op soek is na &#8216;n vennoot wat met haweloses werk en oornag-fasiliteite asook &#8216;n plek waar individue geassesseer kan word, kan verskaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die doel is dan om na opsies soos hervestiging, repatriasie of die verwy\u00adsing na &#8216;n geskikte instansie te kyk. Di\u00e9 organisasie moet verkieslik &#8216;n gevestigde nie-regeringsorganisasie of organisasie sonder winsoogmerk wees.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Die BVM is ook tans in gesprek met die Swartland-munisipaliteit \u2013 nie net oor die straatslapers nie, maar ook oor ander wetstoepassingsfunksies. Die rede waarom ons met die Swartland-munisipaliteit hande vat, is omdat hulle sekere dienste kan lewer wat die BVM \u00f3f nie kan lewer nie \u00f3f nie die kapasiteit voor het nie. Swartland kan byvoorbeeld hul honde-eenheid beskikbaar stel indien nodig, omdat die BVM nie so &#8216;n eenheid het nie. Hierdie onderhandelinge gaan steeds voort, maar die BVM het reeds &#8216;n diensvlakooreenkoms aan hulle gestuur en wag op terugvoer,&#8221; het Botha ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wat die straatslapers in Rawsonville betref, is die BVM daagliks besig met hulle en probeer hulle oortuig om na hul huise terug te keer. &#8220;Ons beplan om die hulp van sosialeontwikkelingsagentskap\u00adpe te kry om ons hiermee te help.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die regte prosedure om klagtes aan te meld moet gevolg word en griewe moet nie net op Whatsapp-groepe gelug word nie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Botha kan klagtes aangemeld word by die BVM se kli\u00ebntedienssentrum by 0860 12 12 12 of ssc@bvm.gov.za.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inwoners kla steeds oor di\u00e9 groeiende
