On the streets of Durban
Of Durban’s approximately 4 000 homeless individuals, 85% are male. The most common reason cited for homelessness is moving to Durban in search of employment and failing to find a suitable job. 60% of homeless individuals on the street report frequent drug use, while 33% of the same group of people cite frequently using hard drugs. This contrasts to 50% and 22% respectively in the shelters. (http://bit.ly/2BkekNk)
