Mi-change administrator Dylon Jordaan.
The rain was coming down hard in Mitchells Plain, washing away Dylon Jordaan’s only source of income for the day.
For 12 years, his survival had depended on the loose change taxi drivers and motorists handed him for washing minibuses. That loose change funded a severe heroin addiction, keeping him trapped in a daily cycle of withdrawal and desperation.
One particular afternoon, the taxi ranks found themselves quiet, slow, and empty, the streets were freezing, and Jordaan was completely out of options.
"Every day was about getting through the next few hours," Jordaan recalled. "There was no vision for the future, no sense of identity, and very little hope."
