Durban Homeless Criticize New Shelter
The homeless community in Durban is unhappy with the municipality's decision to relocate them to Sakhithemba in Illovo.
eThekwini Municipality announced that Sakhithemba, a homeless shelter south of Durban, is 70% complete and will operate in December.
Criticism from Denis Hurley Centre
Denis Hurley Centre (DHC) Director, Dr. Raymond Perrier, expressed frustration with the plan, calling it "ill-conceived".
"We have mentioned before the ill-conceived plan of eThekwini Municipality to create a shelter for homeless people 37km outside central Durban, in a place with no services and little chance of work.
Dr. Perrier emphasized that the location and scale of the project contradict effective shelter models in other countries and South African cities.
