While the City welcomes the much-needed downpour, winter is not an easy time for those without a warm bed to retreat to. If you would like to help someone have a warm, dry place to sleep, then check out the Haven Night Shelter’s Buy A Bed initiative, where you can ‘buy’ a bed for a homeless person for five nights, for just R60.
