Homelessness Count Explored.

Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi returns to the studio with Remembrance (Remi) Ngulele to discuss Homelessness Count—efforts to accurately tally and understand South Africa's growing street population crisis. They highlight initiatives like point-in-time surveys revealing over 55,000 homeless individuals, concentrated in urban hubs like Gauteng metros, driven by unemployment, addiction, and housing shortages. Remi shares insights on data's role in shaping interventions—shelters, job programs, and policy reforms—to move beyond counting toward restoration. This vital conversation calls for community action and compassion amid rising numbers. Tune in for eye-opening awareness and hope-filled solutions! Spectrum
