Take care of the mentally ill

I would like to appeal to the Ekurhuleni Health Department to kindly look into the matter of mentally disabled people in Kathorus.

It is saddening to see so many of these people, both men and women walking around the streets of Kathorus in the state most of them are in. I’m sure they could all be gathered and taken to some place of safety, or a mental hospital where some of them can get the medical attention they so rightfully deserve.

It is a shame to see elderly people walking around almost naked in the presence of young children. We cannot allow these people become the laughing stock of the nation because they have a mental problem.

It is up us as fellow human beings to ensure that these people are taken care of and the health department of the city should be their first point of refuge.
