Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi returned to the studio with Remembrance Ngulele Mokoena to discuss The Tshwane Homeless Count. The count, conducted by the University of Pretoria in partnership with local organizations, found that unemployment is the main cause of homelessness in Tshwane. The survey counted around 4,177 homeless people, with many citing family trauma, substance abuse, and economic hardship as contributing factors. The discussion highlighted the urgent need for more permanent shelters across Tshwane and the importance of community support to address this crisis. After the pilot program, the results reveal that the homeless population is primarily male, with significant numbers of youth and adults affected, underscoring the social and economic challenges faced by the city.
