Hi all, Please see the reply from OBSID Field worker, Kenneth Roman below;
"I arranged to meet him today and he did not show for our appointment at 9 this morning, I then went to his usual spot at the robot and did not find him there either. I then went on with my other appointments and circled back to the robot where I found him. We had a long talk and he promised that I can meet him at the robot tomorrow morning around 11 and he would go with me to Cape Town Drug Counseling Centre so that I can try and get him into Stikland Hospital for detox and into Beth Rapha. I hope that I will be given a fare chance to interact with him with no interference because this would put unnecessary pressure on the situation. I will report back throughout the process of trying to rehabilitate him."
