The command council visited a centre for the homeless at Polokwane Show Ground to monitor the situation of homeless people. The centre had about 41 homeless people some of whom were mentally disturbed.
“This courses chaos in the centre. They even beat others. We took one to Mankweng hospital and he was released within 72 hours” Conny said.
The centre proposed that there should be a separation of homeless people from mentally disturbed homeless. “We think there was an oversight. You can’t mix the two. We are not trained to deal with mental illness people. Let the centre be divided into 2 to accommodate mental illness. I experienced some beatings from one of them” she said.
The matter was to be elevated to Provincial Command Council chaired by Premier.
