Hours, Contact Details and Directions

We do not publish opening hours for individual free shelters for homelesses. Our listing data comes from an open mapping dataset that does not carry verified trading hours, and publishing a guess would be worse than publishing nothing: you could drive to a closed door on the strength of it.

To confirm hours before you travel, phone the number shown on the listing, check the branch page on the operator’s own website, or look at the live “popular times” panel on the mapping service you use for directions. Hours in South Africa commonly differ on Sundays and public holidays, and many centres close earlier than their anchor tenants.
