I decided to walk to Seapoint to run an errand.
Yesterday I noticed that the "tent people", next to the Greenpoint police station were gone and then today perchance, i came across an article about their eviction on the same day i arrived in CT, last Thursday.
While walking, the absence of the homeless on the streets was very obvious. I noticed a police van with a trailer and a few , what looked like municipal workers, combing the seapoint park.
The trailer was full with the belongings of those homeless. Their " homes" stashed in the back.
I wondered where the they would have gone to.
Truth being the stench of urine and the "invasion" by the many jobless hungry , of public spaces across areas was definitely an ever growing problem CT would have had to deal with eventually, impacting it's tourists and overall aesthetic look.
I have written many times about the anomoly of Cape Town....the super wealthy and the super hungry and lost.
I am still wondering....where did all those homeless people go?
This weekend was blessed with work abundant, company generous and very "humane"....exactly what I needed.
The Universe knew I needed a lot of good and positive energy to share of itself with me.
Realness.
It is always most rewarding to be in places beautiful but, never to be blind to the plight of the less fortunate.
Fair Cape Town ....you are beautiful but, so many anomalies do keep me preoccupied.
Tomorrow is another day and life shall sow its many rewards as well as many challenges. ...what one reaps of such maybe, sometimes, is out of one's own control.
29 May...elections. Does that mean anything and does it carry the power it is supposed to carry?
Till the morrow most dear Cape Town.
You touch my heart in ways different.
