guys dont be too hard on the guy. currently no one knows the reason for him to live like this and resorting to smoking whatever he smoked. there are various reasons that leads one to this situation and some of us here, have lost our loved ones years ago. we dont know their whereabouts. we pass them on the streets daily without recognizing them cos their lives have been turned around due to lack of something.

Mar 5:2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
Mar 5:3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
Mar 5:4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
Mar 5:5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
Mar 5:7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
Mar 5:8 For he was saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
Mar 5:9 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
Mar 5:10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

Our social services department is a train smash. Some of the social workers have case loads which 100 people couldn't get through. There is also a sad lack of understanding when it comes to mental illness. It is either a baloyi or an evil spirit or the devil - never just a brain chemical imbalance. That stigmatises it and makes the jobs of the (too few + poorly equipped) social workers very difficult indeed.

I am also amazed that badly managed human resource affairs have been proven to be teh major barrier in the continent for deliverance of services,
Africans must understand that we need professionals more than we need politicians and when they come to this realisation they must vote the chaff masquerading as gov out and do the right thing in order for us to be able to leave a respectable legacy behind for our kids. what kind of Africa/country we will leave behind for our children? a country that is in debt, cause we allowed politicians to get away with looting us? a debt that can not be serviced cause majority of children will be unemployable cause the gov failed to grow the economic pie?

Mar 5:2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.
Mar 5:3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,
Mar 5:4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.
Mar 5:5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him.
Mar 5:7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."
Mar 5:8 For he was saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
Mar 5:9 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
Mar 5:10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

This guy's family has given up on him because he won't stop. Giving him a house won't stop him. He needs to WANT to stop and then he needs to be given access to assistance to allow HIM to stop. A house isn't a one stop instant rehab which will ensure he doesn't steam himself every day.

somaartakeitOur social services department is a train smash. Some of the social workers have case loads which 100 people couldn't get through. There is also a sad lack of understanding when it comes to mental illness. It is either a baloyi or an evil spirit or the devil - never just a brain chemical imbalance. That stigmatises it and makes the jobs of the (too few + poorly equipped) social workers very difficult indeed.

Its true that MC but how does this gov managed to lose our resources to other countries? cause this understaffed is direct result of brain drain.I am saying MC before we condemn him and write him off, we should have at least have ensured him that he has basic support necessary for every addict not only in SA but the world to go back to his feet, its not an easy job, and as you know its an ongoing process, hence we should have a gov with process that ongoing and well funded, but the gov's of Africa are known not to value human resources hence refugees/brain drain whilst they are focusing on embezzlement projects.

somaartakeitWould you work here for a salary that doesn't cover your student loan whilst being expected to go into dangerous areas all alone and having a case load of over a thousand - or would you work overseas?
One social worker that used to study with my daughter has a BA and is expected to handle 380 odd 'at risk' child cases in Little Zambia. The bloody cops won't go into Little Zambia without an army escort but she is expected to take her rusty old Golf through there on her own to check on children of ex convicts.

@MC I agree hence I said the gov is causing this problem by allowing brain-drain, their failure to compensate professionals accordingly has this bad effect on service delivery. I blame them not the ones who seek greener pastures hell I also work abroad (as you know) often cause this gov has frustrated every entrepreneurial fibre in my body,I am also amazed that badly managed human resource affairs have been proven to be teh major barrier in the continent for deliverance of services,
Africans must understand that we need professionals more than we need politicians and when they come to this realisation they must vote the chaff masquerading as gov out and do the right thing in order for us to be able to leave a respectable legacy behind for our kids. what kind of Africa/country we will leave behind for our children? a country that is in debt, cause we allowed politicians to get away with looting us? a debt that can not be serviced cause majority of children will be unemployable cause the gov failed to grow the economic pie? SAns who vote in SA please think about these things and take necessary actions, cause really this is not scientific knowledge.

This man needs to be arrested.......... he has no respect not only for himself but those hat have departed.
City Parks oversees to the cleaning of cemetries and parks, why are they not doing something about this h00ligan. They should take away his possession.
....................................................................................................................................................
I agree, there should be a charge for this, imagine when the family visit the grave & find him sleeping there, this is disrespectful, lock him up. Why must they give him an RDP house, he will sell it judging by his behaviour
******************************************
No No, City Parks is doing No such thing thats why this boy could have peaceful nights asthe cemetries are also going astray. There aint even water. He has no1 tp tell him or chase him away.His more of a caretaker

somaartakeitAs much as I am fully with you on the need for socia1 services to get their act together, I cannot find any way to b1ame the government for this guy making the deciision to become a junkiie and 1ive on some poor sou1's gr@ve. Can you just imagine going to visit Auntiie Sophiie's gr@ve and there he is taking a p on it (not exactly a glutt of pub1ic 1oos around graveyards)?
I have known some addiicts in my time and you can give them everything but hu1le gaaan diit a1les teeen diie muuur uigepizz. Until they WANT to soberup, there is abso1utely nothing you can do to help them. From what his family is saying, this dude has no desiire to straighten out.
