As a former homeless person, I often take the opportunity to speak to homeless individuals...a lot of the time they are in "hustle" or "skarrel" mode...and it takes a good while and a lot of probing questions before you start to get the truth out of them...I find that sharing my personal homelessness experience with them helps to cross that "defensive" and "bullshit " barrier a lot faster....you also need to be quite firm with them...and you have to call them out on their bullshit...not in a nasty way bit simply by asking relevant questions and by questioning inconsistencies in their stories....I was talking to a homeless guy a few weeks back and this is some of what he told me..(1) he wasn't really homeless, he was an undercover journalist on assignment...and could I spare him R70 so he could replace his bank card that was stolen....(2) he told me his full name...his surname sounded French...and he told me he is actually of royal descent....it was all bullshit of course, and you HAVE to be able to call them out on it...otherwise all they will do is see you as an opportunity for a handout...
We have a moral obligation to create opportunities for people in need. Work, not handouts. It's time to remove the ANC from government before this becomes the norm.
The whole Western World have Social Welfare plans in place. Which WORK to allow people to be fed/survive. Rather than having to resort to crime to survive. SA's own grant system is certainly not generous. If you'd like to create a business and jobs for homeless people to get them off the streets by all means. But if not then allowing people basic survival by grants is a good thing.
I was close to being homeless.its a hard life and even harder when there is a wife and children.i hope God looks after this family.and its true what he said, people do look down on you when you are poor.atleast it brings out peoples true colours in front of you
If you have walked in his/her shoes you earn the right to comment. I hope they survive this rat-race & can forgive those who turned their backs on them.
Also sounds like he might just have gotten himself here ... cant always blame families.. Some families can only go on for so long with their addict family members... I thank God my sibling is free and clean, and never made it this far... but had she carried on.... this is where she would be because of the constant abuse we received...
There is more to this story, they may not be on drungs but, im picking up on alchole abuse, I may be wrong, but noticed how he said they dont do drungs but no mention of alcohol. I hope he can get a job and get thier lives right, but if there is an achole promblem that needs to be sorted first. What about the sisters of mercy, they take in single mothers. Maybe good if she gets into a place of shalter while he gets on his feet. But if they are drinkers it could be why the chil was taken away, and why family wont help.
I dont understand how people can judge so harshly. I had a cousin who was homeless and yes she was on drugs and was treated like less than human because of it , but truth be told, by the time she was 12 years old, both her parents had died and there is no bigger trauma.. be thankful you not where they .. privilege is often disguised as moral superiority
We are not hearing the full story here! If I were him I'd be visiting every garage in Cape Town with my CV - those are the questions that you should be asking. What have you done, what are you doing, to get out of this? I, for one, would be willing to fund job searches for deserving homeless people who are really putting in the effort to find work!
Having been homeless myself (2010 to 2014), I can tell this guy isn't telling the whole truth...he is not taking responsibility for any of its actions...it all about "what happened to me"...and not about any decisions he made that contributed to his state of affairs...like, why didn't his wife's folks want to help...? Homelessness is due to 3 factors...and only 3 factors...(1) alcoholism, (2) drugs or (3) mental health issues of one kind or another....if friends and family don't want to help it's cos you've burned bridges....the only way out of Homelessness is, like with AA and NA, to take responsibility for your part in being homeless...it is not an easy life and it's certainly not easy to get out of...but it can be done
You are quick to make that judgement but remember, there are no tests or qualifications for people to make babies. An evil or bad person can have children and then just abandon them. Would you consider that 'burning bridges'?

Social workers take this guys son but the allow Chevonne Rusch to die at the hands of her mums partner??? WTF?? No logic in SA. My ex husband Bruce Rayson died homeless in Sea Point, when I watch this, i think of him.
You cannot trust the South African justice system. Social services regarding children especially. Drug addicts have more previlages than the struggles of those who aren't. Our court system is pathetic and also does not provide justice for those able to afford a an opportunity to take your matter to court. The system fails everyone. Yes, your own family can fail you too! He's correct. The only way is to hustle your way to justice for yourself by yourself to make it. Bless us all
If you are a person that had an education (specialized motor mechanic!!!) and a job, you dont land on the street accidently, its a series of bad decisions (with alcohol or drugs involved usually)that led to homelessness. Im sure there is some bad luck and misfortune involved... but the fact that the family doesn't want you in their house, no friends want to help shows that you are the problem... friends and family probably already tried to help. Also they dont just take kids away, there is a whole process! if your child was taken away there was repeated instances of child neglect and/or abuse. It takes alot for children to be taken away. The problem with interviews with homeless people is that they are always in survival mode and they know how to hustle and spin stories. I read an interesting article written by a previous homesless person and they explain how hard and dangerous it is to survive on the street in cape town, you fight for territory and a place to sleep. ppl that live on the street are quite hardened by the environment- you cannot try to understand them from your cozy easy life. Notice how one thing after the next in this guy's story is about how bad stuff happened to them but they had no part in it and the story is eratic and all over the place, thats the first sign he is probably an addict unfortunately. There are places these guys can go if they really want help and get back on track, many places of safety for women ( and no they dont kick out the women and take the baby!! ) This guy is talking so much BS. My sister lived in wineberg and there was a homeless couple in front of their house most of the time (it was "their" street) and i used to speak to them often, they also had two children (that they gave to her parents), and they used tik- thats why they were there on the street. I sincerely hope this guy and his wife can get sober and get their life back on track.
I've read your opinion which is the general opinion that most ignorant people hold... My wife of 30 years has been wonderful to me through out our struggles and since I fell ill in 2009 we have been abandoned by family and friends judged by community members church people and their leaders, so we know that you are only worth something if you have something, I am and have been a very sick person physically and live out of my wheelchair with my 57 year old wife takes care of me without any help from these organizations that profess to help? We live in a small room and survive off my old age government pension and by God's grace, The doctors told my wife in 2012 to take me home and make me comfortable as there was nothing they could do for me and church members told my wife that her future was on the side of the road in the bushes and we don't drink alcohol or take drugs at all but we have been judged and persecuted by people that don't even know us? There is only one judge and that's God!!! So I guess I will just move on and keep it all to myself again, I just want to point out out that no one is beyond this position of desolation including you 😢...
Is he truly homeless? His beard and hairs so woes, yet his arms and neck is clean clean shaven... And wearing puma... But still, we all human and need to respect... ✌️
At the time of this interview they were homeless for a couple of months, I have recently heard that due to this video a member of the Sea Point community was able to organise a family shelter for them. People in the Sea Point area were donating clothes while they were on the streets. They were looking quite rough on this day. Think it's genes which accounts for the lack of hair on his neck and arms.
Go to Mowbray do something about that sacks there it’s not fair they put that homeless people out on the streets .but they can’t put that people out that build sacks next to the main road it’s not right
There is always i wanted ask south Africa how can the whole country be homeless and we the people of south Africa and there is only one solution drop the bonds and rents of houses and let the people live otherwise the people we all going live on the road with our animals in the country and furniture and cars and lives so please think of what is been said its not a joke its a serious thing has life is not a joke its a battle 😮😮😮

Seems like a good dude, unfortunately you can’t trust anybody’s word on anything these days tho. Hope he is truthful and gets work but yeah the whole my phone, wallet , Id and everything got stolen story and both parents won’t help , and endless weird stories and even moving to another completely different city jobless and homeless with No identity, bank cards or phones with a baby and another one on the way , too many red flags here , even you can test me for drugs , “ I did a test recently” part was heavvvy suspicious but yeah hope it’s the truth but like he even says , you cant trust anybody these days Hope you find yourself man , be safe
I am not sure where Aaron and his wife are now, they never had cell phones. She gave birth a couple of weeks ago in New Somerset Hospital then we lost track of them. Apparently a member of the Sea Point community has assisted I trying to find a family shelter. Am not sure of current status.
Ive stayed in shelters in cape town each shelter has its own social worker. Its really easy to get in especially if you pay R300 or so upfront for the first month. They might give you the run around but if you persist you will get in. I dont buy this story he is probably doing drugs and the truth is most people on the street do drugs. This guy looks too clean for the street life even if he supposedly is on the street in a rich area.
Aaron's wife gave birth about a month ago at New Somerset Hospital, after that we kind of lost track as they dont have cell phones etc. Last I heard there was a family court hearing scheduled which will hopefully determine what is best for the two children.

@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd The problem isn't that it's a one sided story it's that people like to play victim all the time, Like the fact that he blames everyone but himself for his struggles.
Responsibility is one thing yes, but what if he really was a victim? Could you offer any possible solutions to this story? This channel was not created to point out the obvious problems society is plagued with but to brainstorm solutions.
@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd The only way out of the hole he is in is to accept that he dug it and move on, Everyone goes through adversities but the people that project their insecurities on others never move forward.
I'm talking about solutions as to how they can get off the street. (Bare in mind shelters are full the majority of the time, most don't take in couples or families and Aaron and his wife's families are unable/unwilling to help)
Baby should be on birth control period! I don't know why they bring children into the world to suffer,that's something I hate!
Was hoping to see that he had had some luck
looks like the SA version of Soft White Underbelly
Does 'Soft White Underbelly' only interview homeless people or do some of the candidates have places/houses they live in?
They interview a wide array of interesting characters, but there is an emphasis on people on streets (drug dealers, addicts, prostitutes).@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd

@@gerhardvanderpoll7378 The Word says, repent.
The quicker someone overcome the denial of the consequences of one's own wrong decisions and sins, the quicker life will change to the better.
Stop having babies guys.
I thought Cape Town’s better???😢😮
In which way and compared to what? 🤔
Pity we can't see pic of wife....
His wife did not want to be filmed.
Seems like an addict to me, just saying
Shame, I have seen this guy
Please no more babies this is a problem for the poor kids.....please sort this out....
Strange family this poor guy has
He looks like a trust fund kid from CT. Dresses the same
That's his side of the story. There are 3 sides to every story, His, theirs and the truth.....
Yes that is a common saying. Could you offer any possible solutions to this story?
I'm 40 make good money been with my wife for 10 years and have 0 kids because shit is expensive,how the fak do you be that irresponsible? I'm sorry but this is just asinine. All I here is excuses and passing the buck.
This page was not created to point out the very obvious problems our society is plagued with but to offer solutions. If we only highlight a problem and not offer a solution then we are part of the problem..
@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd very easy solution, don't punch above your weight. You going to get knocked out everytime
And how would you teach such a concept to a person that has been victimized and traumatized for the majority of their lives and now lives on the streets of Cape Town?
@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd it doesn't take rocket science to pay attention and put 2 and 2 together. If you can't look after yourself how the fuck you going to look after another human being? You are literally advocating child abuse disguised as virtue signaling. These kids will repeat this exact same cycle more likely than not for eternity, it's time to wake up.
@@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd and just to make the situation even worse you can go to any government clinic in Cape Town and get contraceptives for free, wow what a concept! But that would take some form of cognitive function.
He doesn't tell the truth. There must be something else. He talks too much,small talker
Oh please you say you have 1 drink. Clearly evident that you are not sober guy. Would love to help you but the fact that you have gone ahead and made your wife pregnant "AGAIN" means sorry for you bro
Ye no more babies 😂
Shady
its a shame to see this DA
Nothing the municipality can do.
Go look at the ANC and EFF run places. He fled from there.
Did he think it would be better in cape town
Cape town is for the rich@faniegreyling7949
@@faniegreyling7949 True...cant wait for us to be self governed...independent from the ANC & EFF.
@@delialubke6610that would be wonderful. Azeem hoosain please leave the western cape. No place for that mindset here.
Excuses excuses.
How on earth can your own family turn you away
Pray it never happens to you or your kids. You clearly have no compassion for others. Shame on you.
It's almost always because someone has taken advantage too much. Usually there's drugs or alcohol involved. Either the kids or the parents or both.
Jhb is crime ridden
Cape town is just as bad.
Can they please stop having babies. Specially a year apart 🫨 there’s more to this story.
drugs
