Another homeless man found dead (outside Manurewa Methodist Church)

10 Comments

Note: This happened in July 2017. Still in 2019 things have not improved …people racking up debt courtesy of brain dead authorities who place them in motels at huge cost … they could lend that money to the homeless to purchase a house. I heard of one case where a woman owed $85K. Sheer insanity, and meanwhile there are state houses still sitting empty for as long as 18 months I’m hearing. What is with that? If you see this happening please phone HNZ & ask them why. 

Words escape me. This is so sad … and ironically outside a church. With all due respect to those in the story who have helped this man, it’s still one of those WWJD moments (what would Jesus do). I rather think that although he didn’t have a home of his own, he would’ve invited him inside nevertheless & given him a bed, some blankets and a pillow. And perhaps a seat by the fire. Very sad. He died within view of the soup kitchen. People this is not the NZ we knew once. This modus operandi is from the halls of our esteemed leaders who are placing profits & the ‘needs’ of corporates above those of the people they are supposed to be serving. These folk organizing soup kitchens and shelters are running on limited funds and the problem is becoming enormous.

What makes this crime especially unforgivable is the stock of empty state homes this corporation (parading as a govt) have both land banked and left sitting empty on all manner of other fake pretexts. And they remain steel hearted & unrepentant. It started with Rogernomics, that inroad that was to pave the way for global governance, and they are totally complicit with the plan. Shame on you all with all your tax free perks, riding rough shod over the people you should be helping.

Homeless man found dead outside Manurewa Methodist Church

A homeless man has been found dead, huddled under his sleeping bag at the back of a church – the second known such death of a homeless person in two weeks as a polar blast grips the nation.

The man was found on Tuesday morning as Manurewa Methodist Church set up its weekly soup kitchen for the homeless.

Manurewa mum Beverley Losefa, who organises the soup kitchen, thought he was sleeping in. But when they served the first cup of tea and he still hadn’t risen she became worried.

Police were called and confirmed the man had died, before they cordoned off the area.

Losefa was heartbroken to see the man die without his family. She spoke through tears about how lonely and cold he must have been to take his final breath outside the church they call “the corner of hope”.

“I’d never forgive myself if it was someone I knew. I hope no one loses someone this way,” she said.

  1. NATIONAL PARTY & TREASUREY INDUCE NATIONWIDE HOMELESSNESS 2015 EVIDENCE FOR A COMPENSATION COURT CASE:
    Lets educate the public about the HUMAN DISIATER that occurred in New Zealand after the signing of the TPP TPPA & te Ture Whenua PARTNERSHIP DEALS. This aligned in time with the OVERNIGHT BENEFIT cuts of NZ citizens ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME – cut off by Paula Bennett, Bill English and Ann Tolley, with the TREASURY BOOK KEEPING WRITE-OFF as part of the crowns repeat of history DEPOPULATION PLANS. i have gathered the evidence now needed to take these criminal rulers to INTERNATIONAL COURT to face prosecution charges. THE MOTIVE FOR CUTTING THE BENEFITS was to pour the money towards CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS for Fletcher challenge including Probation offices, police stations, prisons, and towards immigration to welcome Foreign settlers, to settle here, for education, into direct employment, and Housing – whilst NZ Citizens were mass evicted….ITS A MAN MADE DISASTER LIKEN UNTO A WAR COUNT – MORGUE COUNT. This ACT OF TERRORISM BY THIS GOVERNMENT WILL SEE THEM held accountable for their behaviour. A COMPENSATION COURT IS TO BE OPENED with International support, under a new Justice system claimed by the Declaration of Independence 1835. – MASS COMPENSATIONS OF ALL MATTERS ARAISING will be heard by an Independent Judge – a TOHUNGA MAORI JUDGE to hear cases of government crime. To support the NEW JUSTICE SYSTEM and support the NEW COMPENSATION COURT email: rangimarieakaladyjustice@gmail.com. Thank you.

    1. The government needs to really look aat Residential homes for Mental Health and homelessness. They do so much to help the imigrints in our country… What about our own N Zealanders our own blood common Jacinda Ardfern look at what’s happening in your own back yard……
