There are so many people that are unemployed. There are no work.
The sad thing is also if u give the street guys money then they run to the liquor store and stuff. I was very upset the other day at OK FOODS. A man with a child was asking for money and he was already drunk. What must he's child thinks.....
There are so many people that struggling in South Africa. We also have to budget every month. And if I can help someone I will buy a bread or something.
Yeah everything also changes when Covid came in 2020.
Never give money, rather buy 1/4 loaf and some polony or similar and give it to the child.
Our area has asked residents not to feed directly on the street, rather donate to NGO/NPO, churches or places that organize feeding to street people.
With high unemployment walk with eyes in the back of your head!
Yeah that's true. Sometimes I can see who is really in need. And sometime who are just not in need.
I just feel bad sometimes for the people that I can't really help them.
Small donations to a few goes a long way, churches, hospice and SPCA are the ones we support in our area.
Thanks I'll do that rather. Hope that you have a blessed weekend
Exceptionally hot once again, have yourself a lovely evening.
Eish here in Kuruman side are very very hot. I can't wait for the winter. Have a lovely weekend 💐💐
Cool weather came in quietly late last night, hopefully more than one day this time... Enjoy the quiet life of your region, even though it is hot.
Yes, I actually also wanted to write on the beggars, but decided not to, because the post would become to big, but the sort version is, that beggars make more than a gardener, thus it is easy to just beg - and you are correct most of them are on drugs or liquor!!
It is just sad.
Yeah its very sad. I can see there are so many that asked for money. And some are so Jung maybe 14 years old.
