The street baggers, street kids, street urchins, amaferanji.


The Street Baggers (also referred to as Street kids or Amaferanji) are these people/ kids we always see on the streets (most likely in the cities) bagging, they are usually not clean, they live, eat in the bins, they are very low life humans


These kids always annoy us they ask for money, they go from grabbing bags to forcefully taking jewellery, including cell phones, they take all these goods to sell them for few bucks and the end of the day the spend the money in sniffing glue, they are absolutely purposeless. At times one may think of giving them money but you just think how this person is going to spend this money.

These people are usually between the age of 8 and 18, now can some tell what is a person this young (8 yrs) doing in the street, this person is clearly directionless, has no purpose in life, this young kid is not going to school, he has no guidance, obviously there is no parental love. He is no hope, he has no place to call a home, the only happiness he finds is when he gets a R5 to buy glue. Now why does he take glue? Glue is a very economical central nervous system depressant, its makes them forget about all the worries, the hanger and even the future.

Imagine now for some reason, your self, if you didn’t have any one to guard, guide you, a abusive parent who does not care, a parent who says you do not listen, a parent who says you are a curse, a parent who is glad you are not part of his or her life.

Now think what on earth will make a 8 year old run off home, what kind of a parent does not go and look for her child if he or she is not home after school. These young souls are taken out of the society against their own will, and the society calls them names. Human kind was never meant to leave like an animals, these children are treated like rejects of humans, they feel like they are less human, their human dignity is lost.

People let do something about this, let’s save these young souls, yes they are violent but its not their fault they are kids, they need guidance like many most of us did, as adults we can think better than them and we can save them. Let’s do some thing, lets save the dignity of the human kind.
