The majority of people who beg do so because they are too lazy to take the initiative and take responsibility for their own welfare.
OK, so walking door to door asking for a job in the garden is not like begging.... so statistically you would then have 4 people knocking on your door every day asking for a job in your garden... I'd rather give a R5 to a beggar on a street corner every day!

I agree beggars are fucking irritating, but you have to be in a really kak place to actually start doing this...
