Homeless people in Observatory have been left out in the cold after law enforcement
removed tents erected for them by a local resident.
On Tuesday, Observatory resident Terna Gyuse put up two marquees to shelter
homeless people from the heavy rains.
Gyuse is a member of the Obs Community Action Network (CAN) and he set up two
marquees at the Village Green as a temporary shelter.
The marquees were erected on land owned by the City of Cape Town without a permit,
according to GroundUp. The City's law enforcement officers took down the tents
shortly after they were put up.
Gulam Pietersen a homeless transgender woman living near Obz Plaza, said in an
interview with us on Thursday that the City feels no remorse for leaving homeless
people exposed to the elements.
