Citizens aren’t kids, they’re adults that are capable & have to ultimately deal with their own lives & be responsible for it - not the state.

hold on, these homeless people now have access to food everyday, medical care and a bed and you somehow think this is worse than them living on the streets?
Dave Strydom It’s likely a variant of prison food. As for medical care, I doubt that the women have enough privacy for their lady business.. even if they did it’s very unlikely that the medical services are at a reasonable standard.. also consider that the bed that you speak of could be directly next to a gangster or actual drug addict. Also why must we only see it from the outside?
Yes it is worse than being on the street because theres ciuntless numbers of them in close quarters all it takes it one person and half the camp is dead
When you create a void, it gets filled with something......and there are many bad elements in the societies through out the world..... Don't talk rubbish.....
That was one guy...the rest were more concerned about freedom...not worried about sleeping outside..but to not be locked up with 100s Upon 100s of other people..knwing that its a bad setup for social distancing.
a lot of people who are homeless go to shelters to sleep, or have a setup where they have a tent or some kind of a cardboard shelter so they are not sleeping rough in the open. Others are able to stay with friends or relatives and circulate amongst the group just spend nights on the couch or nights in the living room, and others can sleep in cars or unused buildings such as churches when they are not holding services. I think there is more of a desire for freedom to choose what one wants to do with their life then a particular problem with sleeping in the arrangements that have been made for them. No one wants to be held in a detention camp no one wants to be in an internment camp whatever the reason, and whatever their life was before.
Father God protect our homeless people in the world. I plead the blood of Jesus protection over them in Jesus name Amen. Comfort your people in this lonely hour, wrap your loving hands around them. Let them feel your presence around them. Send your heavenly angels around the homeless in Jesus precious name Amen.
We in Germany think of you all and send a lot of strength to you all. Africa is such a beautiful continent, I wanted to see Africa in nature from an early age. I really hope that you all get through these disasters well. I love you ..... stay healthy and strong!
I'm sure the people know about social distancing, but the confines of the camp do not allow for it. that is why some of the detained were screaming for help and saying that they were dying in there.
Not happy, hopeless. Media gives them hope that people will see the evil being done to them and free them. Happy? Yay right...NOT!! It's called prison dude.
Anita Winston not locked up no one is forced to be there. If i was homeless and on the street this will be a much better - food and shelter. Are you kiddin me obv thats way better than street life on drugs
25 690 000 people live in Australia. 1 944 persons died of the virus there since early 2020 and they ship people to camps like these in Australia now too.... The virus is not a problem. People with power are the problem.
it's time for some law and order. what the guy said about addiction is very true. people will use any manipulation tactic they can. the country needs this unfortunately.
I commend the mayor of capetown for taking extreme measures for the greater good of his province. With great power comes even greater responsibility in making critical decisions during this time of crisis. The homeless rather be free and roam around but it’s not a good time for that right now and containing them all in one place is a dam great idea, and when this is over they can return back to their streets.
@S M To remember those who may fall through the cracks. How many displaced citizens are stranded in the world still? I am not hearing about them anymore. I want to remember groups of people who had nothing to do with what china had unleashed against the world.
I honestly don’t believe these officials. At this point the homeless are better off on the streets It’s inhuman to hold someone against their will!! I don’t agree with their drug addiction or alcoholism but this is not about that! It’s about basic human rights!!! My God how can this be allowed

Indeed, social distancing does not work in our country, not between the homeless, nor our townships, from all races. The infrastructure is one of unemployment, no way to become entrepreneural, and therefore poverty and to top it with corruption, and we have a ticking time bomb of a virus upon us
@@Ayla_3.3 Exactly. I'm thinking herd immunity is the way to go. Let the virus blow over us, then mourn the dead and try pick up the pieces afterwards. It's that or be under lockdown for the next several years. We're just staving off the inevitable at this point.
In 2018, my dad died and then I lost my job just before Christmas. I became dangerously destructive and almost lost my life. In the depth of my despair I called out to Lord Jesus for forgiveness and He answered me. His presence in unimaginably beautiful. We need to call on His mercy and forgiveness

@@clare98 Thats kak, if they leave they'll be arrested for contravening lockdown rules. Their alternative accommodation are the streets where they come from.

Shame they dont look like they want to be there. They just want to be free. It is extremely stressful. no masks no distance doesn't make sense. I just see fear.
😮 How did DW get into the country? Where they here since borders closed? City of Cape Town spokesperson: Noone is held against their will on this site. Anyone can leave now. But if the police catch them on the street they'll be taken to jail.
Excellent question. Maybe they did it from their home offices in Germany, using old District 9 footage, because they clearly have no idea of what is really going on in South Africa.
They are drug dealers and junkies who prefer to live on the streets. They do have homes some of them but it's more fun on the streets. Some have mental issues.
Some of them prefer to live on the streets cause their families dont allow the things they wanna do.So some have homes to go to but they choose to be on the streets

Thank you for covering this.
It's a DEATH CAMP
hold on, these homeless people now have access to food everyday, medical care and a bed and you somehow think this is worse than them living on the streets?
Dave Strydom
It’s likely a variant of prison food. As for medical care, I doubt that the women have enough privacy for their lady business.. even if they did it’s very unlikely that the medical services are at a reasonable standard.. also consider that the bed that you speak of could be directly next to a gangster or actual drug addict.
Also why must we only see it from the outside?
I also doubt that you’d be fine with being set up in a camp like that
Yes it is worse than being on the street because theres ciuntless numbers of them in close quarters all it takes it one person and half the camp is dead
If they are not being held against their will then let them go.
The world is an awful place. I wish everyone could just be free and no governments
When you create a void, it gets filled with something......and there are many bad elements in the societies through out the world..... Don't talk rubbish.....
No government would result in a worse situation overall.
@@angryoaf yep, no roads, schools, public health etc. . ..
Then you probably ended up as a slave
wait if they are complaining about sleeping outside, where did they sleep when they were homeless. I really dont get it?
That was one guy...the rest were more concerned about freedom...not worried about sleeping outside..but to not be locked up with 100s Upon 100s of other people..knwing that its a bad setup for social distancing.
a lot of people who are homeless go to shelters to sleep, or have a setup where they have a tent or some kind of a cardboard shelter so they are not sleeping rough in the open. Others are able to stay with friends or relatives and circulate amongst the group just spend nights on the couch or nights in the living room, and others can sleep in cars or unused buildings such as churches when they are not holding services. I think there is more of a desire for freedom to choose what one wants to do with their life then a particular problem with sleeping in the arrangements that have been made for them. No one wants to be held in a detention camp no one wants to be in an internment camp whatever the reason, and whatever their life was before.
Some have homes but are stuck because they can’t prove it
Father God protect our homeless people in the world. I plead the blood of Jesus protection over them in Jesus name Amen. Comfort your people in this lonely hour, wrap your loving hands around them. Let them feel your presence around them. Send your heavenly angels around the homeless in Jesus precious name Amen.
@ Jackie Gumbs -- AMEN 🙏🏿

Africa is the armpit of the world.
This is already happening in australia and Canada right now, their calling them "special covid camps"
In Australia we don't have special Covid camps. This is nonsense.
@@mariemaier5630 you are a troll
I wouldn't take that
Divide the big camp into several small ones so that social distances can be taught & learned
I'm sure the people know about social distancing, but the confines of the camp do not allow for it. that is why some of the detained were screaming for help and saying that they were dying in there.
This is horrible.
Just the media that make them hysterical. As soon cameras leave they chilled happy
Not happy, hopeless. Media gives them hope that people will see the evil being done to them and free them. Happy? Yay right...NOT!! It's called prison dude.
Yeah, when the media leave then they start the PlayStation. Come one man, get out of here.
poochz2 not a prison. No one is forced to be there.
Anita Winston not locked up no one is forced to be there. If i was homeless and on the street this will be a much better - food and shelter. Are you kiddin me obv thats way better than street life on drugs
Jesus... This journalist isnt wearing any protective gear
25 690 000 people live in Australia. 1 944 persons died of the virus there since early 2020 and they ship people to camps like these in Australia now too.... The virus is not a problem. People with power are the problem.
it's time for some law and order. what the guy said about addiction is very true. people will use any manipulation tactic they can. the country needs this unfortunately.
This is horrible!!!!!
I commend the mayor of capetown for taking extreme measures for the greater good of his province. With great power comes even greater responsibility in making critical decisions during this time of crisis. The homeless rather be free and roam around but it’s not a good time for that right now and containing them all in one place is a dam great idea, and when this is over they can return back to their streets.
Horrible. This is evil.
I will be keeping my eye on this. I wonder if there will be any more updates though?
@S M To remember those who may fall through the cracks. How many displaced citizens are stranded in the world still? I am not hearing about them anymore. I want to remember groups of people who had nothing to do with what china had unleashed against the world.
They are in a rock in a hard place. The homeless community is very vulnerable. This is dad for everyone involved.
I honestly don’t believe these officials.
At this point the homeless are better off on the streets
It’s inhuman to hold someone against their will!!
I don’t agree with their drug addiction or alcoholism but this is not about that!
It’s about basic human rights!!!
My God how can this be allowed
Don't be so quick to judge, especially if you don't have all the facts. As someone that was slightly involved in this, this a typical example of how the media can distort what's really happening in order to sensationalize a story and always in a negative light.
The facts are :
- a number of NGO's that deal with the homeless were involved in setting up and running this shelter
- they tried there utmost to make the environment pleasant ( how do I know; I was tasked as a volunteer to purchase and assist in setting up a PA system for entertainment purposes for the homeless staying there )
- I'm also know for a fact how hard the employees of the NGO's worked in order to make this work for the homeless
- it is a fact that there were some of the homeless that didn't want to be there as shown in the video and they are the same people that will not go to a shelter for assistance because they have an issue with authority and are most of the time the cause of any disturbance s inside this shelter
- these very trouble makers are the reason why the police are there in the first place
- the same trouble makers that scaled the fences and caused trouble in the neighborhood where these shelters were setup.
- they are also the same people that were not aware of didn't care about you facts of those none covid related illnesses / pre existing issue's and decided to spread rumors in order to meet their own agendas
- when the lockdown was lifted, nobody reported on all the homeless that were greatful for this place and opted to stay in shelter in order to go through the process of being rehabilitate back into society and getting of the streets
I'm very disappointed in DW for creating this narrative. I'm normally a fan of their's, but after watching this, I have to wonder how accurate their reporting actually is.
Watching this a year later thinking it hadn't changed
4:25 No one in the shot is practicing social distancing..
Social distancing wont work here, bud.
Indeed, social distancing does not work in our country, not between the homeless, nor our townships, from all races. The infrastructure is one of unemployment, no way to become entrepreneural, and therefore poverty and to top it with corruption, and we have a ticking time bomb of a virus upon us
@@Ayla_3.3 Exactly. I'm thinking herd immunity is the way to go. Let the virus blow over us, then mourn the dead and try pick up the pieces afterwards. It's that or be under lockdown for the next several years. We're just staving off the inevitable at this point.
Yes . We already have the herd.. all we need now is the immunity..
Exactly all a lie!
Human rights? UN? NATO? How this is legal?
That guy thinks like a dictator. He is violating the basic human rights and still has no shame talking about it.
The whole lockdown in SA infringes on human rights
In 2018, my dad died and then I lost my job just before Christmas. I became dangerously destructive and almost lost my life.
In the depth of my despair I called out to Lord Jesus for forgiveness and He answered me.
His presence in unimaginably beautiful.
We need to call on His mercy and forgiveness

Germany has always loved strict policies. Why
I praying 4 them.
Are You holding them there against their will or are you not? Because one minute one of you is saying “that they aren’t being held against their will” and another minute another one of you is saying that “if they can prove that they got somewhere to go then you will release them.”
COUNTRY UNDER LOCKDOWN. Everyone is held inside against their wills. Which wonderful country are you from that completely missed this virus??
@@janiverster6162 says the girl who can leave to buy "essentials" when ever she likes....wake up

@Jason Tempel amen
THAT's what THEY want you to BELIEVE
I'm curious, what would happen if the homeless are left on the street? Do they not achieve a higher social distancing there than in a camp?
@S M of course earthling. Cage people that have nothing to do with the spread of the virus while you do nothing to stop people coming into the country with it, makes sense.
"quarantine camps"? ... It's that how you spell "concentration camps" now?? Weird. 🤔
Damn all those crazy crazy conspiracy theories!
Just kidding. More like foresight that this was going to happen.
At least they have a warm place and food but they want drugs. There is a ban on sigarettes and alcohol too.
Anita Winston probably orphans
jax jax there’s no heating inside and the food is definitely not of a reasonable standard
I bet that was bill gates idea
Lots of people being put camps these days. Australia, south africa... where next?
I've seen other videos where the homeless people are praising the efforts done for them in this same camp. This bunch are acting up for the camera.
If that were true, and they were all there of their own free will, then why are there fences?
Ruki, I agree it's awful to see. But this is a lockdown. Contrary to how this may appear, they are free to leave IF they have alternative accommodation to go to.
@@clare98 Thats kak, if they leave they'll be arrested for contravening lockdown rules. Their alternative accommodation are the streets where they come from.
Clare Bowen If they are only allowed to leave when they have accommodation to go to, it means that they are being kept against their will. Otherwise they would be allowed to leave regardless.
@@rukisar6312 the fences are there for the sake of control. A lot of you aren't seeing the bigger picture here. If they were allowed to roam free, what do you think would happen?
Social distancing???
The reporter needs face mask
WHY? what about boosting your IMMUNE SYSTEM?? gloves, masks won't help if your body's immunity is a shame
Dont need it when your in front of a green screen 1000s of miles away you dumb fools. Btw facemasks and gloves do absolutely nothing
No one needs face masks. Wearing facial mask undermines our immune system, creates hypertension, increases cancer cells because we intoxicate ourselves with our own CO2, carbone dioxyde...It's all a total scam!
Insanity
In from Cape Town and homeless population exploded after zuma stole tens of billions of dollars with his friends .. and international help was much less .. alcohol and drug problems as well as mental illness problems is a huge issue .. it may sound terrible but with out people to give the homeless money and food it would be chaos .. I imagine a fair amount of them are detoxing as well Zzz pray for humanity and try and help out at your local shelter when the world reopens
Humanity has progressed backwards. Help us Lord. 👽🚬

Cdfu for once I dont think nobody wanna come to our coronavirus infected country (up yours)
Mayor had to wait for covid in order to do this. You shouldve fixed this way before
If you believe you're in a free country you can't NORMALLY do that in a free country, but when you're in a state of emergency you have the right to take that type of action
@Soul Chicken he's not just fighting homelessness he's also fighting drug addiction and alcohol abuse those three matters all in the face of covid-19 what would you do if you were the mayor?
Coronavirus has stopped wars too. Also wildlife is taking over thanks to virus😷😊
different provinces seem to be handling this differently. I think Cape Town is finding the sheer numbers a challenge.
Shame they dont look like they want to be there. They just want to be free. It is extremely stressful. no masks no distance doesn't make sense. I just see fear.
The lock-down in Cape Town is absolute. The streets are empty. The truly homeless would find themselves in a desperate situation there.
Exactly.. these homeless (beggers) rely on traffic for their survival.. and scrap metal and recycling etc..
...they are homeless or street people. They must also be on lockdown, why should they be treated differently...
..guess ignorance is bliss..at least for some people
Um thats not social distancing
😮 How did DW get into the country? Where they here since borders closed?
City of Cape Town spokesperson: Noone is held against their will on this site. Anyone can leave now. But if the police catch them on the street they'll be taken to jail.
Excellent question. Maybe they did it from their home offices in Germany, using old District 9 footage, because they clearly have no idea of what is really going on in South Africa.
They've been reporting in Cape Town for some weeks now.
If we got nothing to hide then they are just normal reporting on the ground.
How does that make sense if there are actually people saying that they don’t want to be there? And police keeping people inside that fencing
I'm confused. Are these not the homeless? So how do they have places to live?
Thank you.
They are drug dealers and junkies who prefer to live on the streets. They do have homes some of them but it's more fun on the streets. Some have mental issues.
Some of them prefer to live on the streets cause their families dont allow the things they wanna do.So some have homes to go to but they choose to be on the streets
