White beggars make between R50 to R500 a day, according to a trade union Solidarity study carried out last year. But 78% of beggars would like to work but do not have the education to back them. Almost 60% of the beggars interviewed in November and December – in the Western Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal and Gauteng – of last year not having matric.

Contrary to comments made on the union’s Facebook page assuming beggars did not want to work, Solidarity researcher Nicolien Welthagen said,

Many people wrote that they had offered beggars work, but that they had not wanted to do demeaning work

Later Welthagen commented that the public believed that beggars would rather beg than have real jobs, because they earn more money on the streets.

83% of the beggars interviewed for the study did not receive an allowance or any assistance from welfare or other organisations.
