he told the Cape Argus a handful of people were not happy with him for feeding the homeless.
He told the publication they had a valid permit in place, and then at about 03:40 he saw his car was set alight and was burnt to the ground.
He believed it was someone who was so toxic, they wanted to deter him.
Ward councillor Nicola Jowell noted on the Sea Point City Improvement District Facebook page that with the relocation of about 200 homeless people to the Strandfontein shelter, a new group of people moved to Sea Point from places like Hanover Park and Netreg in search of food.
Police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana said an arson investigation was opened, adding no arrests have been made.
