Temporary facilities to help protect the homeless against Covid-19. In line with Covid-19 national lockdown regulations, the Gauteng Department of Social Development and Sedibeng District and Emfuleni Local Municipalities have sheltered homeless people at the Saul Tsotetsi Sports Complex and the hostels at the General Smuts High School.
The temporary shelters are located in Sebokeng and Vereeniging respectively, and teams of government officials, social and health workers, and volunteers from NGOs work around the clock monitoring the facilities and residents housed therein.
Residents in the Boipatong and Sebokeng hostels handed sanitizers to combat spread of Covid-19. Gauteng MEC for Economic Development, Agriculture and Environment, Morakane Mosupyoe and Emfuleni Local Municipality Executive Mayor, Councillor Gift Moerane on Tuesday (14 April, 2020), rolled out a sanitization program in three hostels in the municipality.
MEC Mosupyoe and Mayor Moerane led hundreds of volunteers who teamed up into groups to distribute sanitizers to the Boipatong, Sebokeng and Kwa-Masiza Hostels.
