In the Article above it was reported that the streetkids, have found a home, sheltered in the Methodist Church hall in Sunnyside, See pictures, after icy cold and rainy weather forced them to seek shelter. The church could not house the streetkids indefinitely. Shelters in Pretoria were unable to take in anymore people and finally they found space at the Jacaranda children's Home, where it was said they will stay untill they could be permanently moved. Yet two days later 16 of the streetkids were jailed in a desperate attempt to keep them sheltered.
It seems the Jacaranda Childrens Home did not have space for them as reported in this article - 8 August 2001 - by Adele Stiehler. |
