Durban: A mud-stained teddy bear, broken bottles, shattered windows, dense bush and the stench of faeces are all that remain at abandoned state-owned SAPS homes in Brindhaven, Verulam.
The homes, in Russom Street, were formerly occupied by police captains, who moved out of the area two years ago. Residents say the homes are now used by drug addicts and for criminal activities.
One of the homes is situated next to the Verulam SAPS but complaints to the stationâs management, some residents claim, have been ignored.
Last Thursday, a high school pupil was stabbed near the abandoned homes and his cellphone, wallet and school shoes were stolen. Two weeks earlier, a jogger was accosted and robbed of his cellphone.

Antarctica has no towns. The only semi-permanent inhabitants would be scientists for short stays.
South Africa is one of the countries closes to Antarctica, a five-hour chartered flight away. Most of it is covered entirely by ice and snow all year round.
