The African Christian Democratic Party in the Western Cape has called on businesses and the community to join in with the City’s Give Responsibly programme for people who want to give to the homeless. 

ACDP Provincial Leader Ferlon Christians said it’s not good enough for the City to leave all the outreach work to its social partners. 

 

Christians urged businesses and individuals that are willing and prepared to give to the needy not to give directly to the person but organisations that work with homeless people.

He further said it has been seen that it is not a working policy to give directly to the people and people should start giving to the City’s Give Responsibly programme.
