    Very sad.. Just by listening to this gentleman, I would never think he lives on the street. It is so tragic...

    If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.

    PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS SHOULD NEVER BE JUDGED. EACH HAS A SAD STORY TO SHARE. TAKE TIME TO LISTEN.....MOST STORIES ARE HEART WRENCHING. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE STRAYED FROM THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH. THEY ALL DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE. I PRAY FOR EACH ONE TO FIND THEIR PLACE BACK INTO SOCIETY. NO HUMAN SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON A COLD PAVEMENT. NOT ALL EVEN EAT ONE MEAL A DAY. MAY WE ALL BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH..SHARE WITH THE LESS FORTUNATE AND BE KIND.

    Anybody can land up on the streets. G-d bless the man as he wants to get out of he's current situation.

    Pls help ALL street people to have a better roof over their heads. A publuc place to clean themselves. So so sad to live like that. So much money wasted on other nonsense. Rather let it go to help these people.

    It's a sad cruel reality most of us try to be oblivious to but it can happen to anyone 😏
    How governments have billions for 💉 but they can't feed the homeless 😕

    I saw him infront of the slave lodge about two days ago. Sad to say he did not look well and he was very aggressive.

    Best advice anyone can leave their job over an argument or errors and in a few months, easily end up on the streets...

      Right? I wonder if he is getting his age wrong by losing a sense of time or is this just what street life does to one's appearance? 🥲

      There are many circumstances which have led to why Petrus is on the streets that are discussed at length in the video. Suggesting solutions would benefit these beings (and humanity in general) more than passing comments.

      @@HomelessinCapeTown-tg5fd How's this: 66 year old guy with top row of teeth gone and almost blind with pin in one foot depending entirely on SASSA pension to pay his rent for a tiny room with only his little dog to keep him company. Gave him a chance - have been totally amazed at his talent and output. Will even work for me for free some days just to keep busy. Got no vices and awesome talents in many fields and he's a so called PRIVELEDGED white gentleman - you know the one's who benefited from apartheid!.
