Abstract
On a crisp June morning over two months after COVID-19 lockdown was announced, Cape Town was eerily quiet. Stripped of its bustling crowds of city workers and tourists, much of the movement on the streets was that of homeless people wrapped in their blankets and setting off for another day of skarreling - slang for their daily hustle for money. For some, the lockdown has kick-started new choices, partly because they found a place to call 'home'.-
