Concern over high number of bucket toilets still being used.
The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) in Mpumalanga has urged the government to speed up the eradication of the pit latrine and bucket toilets.
SAHRC was commenting after it was established that many households in the province were still using pit toilets and other related unhealthy sanitation systems, while others did not have them at all.
SAHRC provincial manager Eric Mokonyama said: "We are deeply concerned about the high number of bucket toilets still being used by households in the province. This speaks to broader sanitation challenges faced by communities, including pupils in public schools. As part of its interventions, the SAHRC will be having a stakeholder engagement on 29 July on the eradication of pit toilets in public schools.
