Danny Oosthuizen – The Dignity Project

Danny Oosthuizen – The Dignity Project

Former homeless Danny Oosthuizen talks about The Dignity Project.

Before he lived on the street, Danny Oosthuizen had a home like most of us do now. However, when he was diagnosed with HIV, his life changed dramatically. He lost his parents before he was 15 and was taken in by his father's employee, a black woman. Because it was during the Apartheid years, his community of white-speaking Afrikaans-speaking people ostracised him.

Being raised by a black woman, his HIV status and his sexual orientation caused him to be heckled by who he thought was 'his race'. He began using drugs and fell into depression, ultimately ending up on the street. 

Cape Argus' Dignity Project has given Danny and other homeless people a platform to have their voices heard and to be seen.
