Thabo May, homeless man who sleeps on a bench at the Sea Point promenade in Cape Town.

Thabo May is a homeless man who sleeps on a bench at the Sea Point promenade in Cape Town.
He told News24 on Saturday he was waiting for police to pick him up and take him to a place of safety.
He was one of a few homeless people left on the usually buzzing promenade.
May is aware of the 21-day lockdown to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, but says he is not scared of the virus.
Instead, his message for South Africans is: "Stay safe for 21 days, we'll all be alright, we're going to heaven."
