by Carlos Mesquita
This week, I am sharing the highlights of my diary last week. The week’s focus would be Friday’s meeting with 20 core members of the homeless and homeless service provision groupings to discuss my proposal for a new coalition, a coalition that could for the first time see homeless people leading the body that represents homelessness in Cape Town.
This should be a body that will advocate and lobby for, among other things, the decriminalisation of homelessness as we join the international campaign “Houses Not Handcuffs.”
