🇿🇦 Are there 600,000 confirmed #homeless people living on the streets of #Johannesburg & #Pretoria, as claimed by @IOL? africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
@IOL The figure is attributed to Homeless Solutions, a non-profit organisation based in Pretoria.
The claim is not based on evidence, but on what a representative told us was “experience and observation”. africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…

@IOL The figure is inconsistent with various estimates and a recent attempt to count all street-homeless people in the City of Tshwane (Pretoria). africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
@IOL Recent estimates suggest the figure is closer to 15,000 in #Johannesburg and 10,000 in #Pretoria. africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
@IOL Accurate data on #homelessness is important, says one expert, because it affects how the government budgets and allocates services. africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
