Many homeless people were still on the streets despite acting Gauteng social development MEC Panyaza Lesufi announcing they had identified facilities which would be used as temporary shelters. Capt Jethro Mtshali, spokesperson for Kempton Park SAPS, said they were patrolling the streets in the CBD to track down residents who violated lockdown regulations.
“We want to ensure residents adhere to the lockdown principles. We deployed police to patrol the streets in the CBD because we don’t want to see residents with no reason for being in town, just loitering.”
