  • PSA Concerned About Temporary Resettlement of Homeless People in Overburdened Mitchell’S Plain
    MEDIA RELEASE Covid-19: PSA concerned about temporary resettlement of homeless people in overburdened Mitchell’s Plain DATE 6 April 2020 EMBARGO None ENQUIRIES [email protected] The PSA, as a Union representing more than 24 500 members in the Western Cape, many of whom are rendering essential services in a variety of key Government Departments, is deeply concerned about the reported placement of homeless people at the Strandfontein Sports Field in Mitchell's Plain, during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The PSA, which represents thousands of employees at Health institutions, the SA Police Service, SASSA and the Department of Home Affairs, is concerned that Mitchell's Plain is already facing a huge challenge whenever there is service delivery protest action and residents of the informal settlement, literally close the area. The PSA supports the need for homeless people need to be accommodated and properly cared for at a site where their exposure to COVID-19 can be mitigated. The concern is, however, that Strandfontein Road is the only alternative route that Mitchell's Plain residents can use should Jakes Gerwel Drive be blocked. Under current circumstances, the risk of protest action is high. Should this become a reality, there is a risk that it will bring Mitchell's Plain to standstill and will prevent service delivery. In addition, a large portion of public sector workers come from the Mitchell's Plain area and a blocking of the area will result in many essential workers not being able to reach their work, will be catastrophic. In addition, the Strandfontein Sports Field is far away from Health facilities, which presents transportation challenges.
