Describing it as a 'life and death issue', humanitarian organisation Amnesty International South Africa has urged the basic education department to honour its commitment to eradicate pit toilets at public schools. | nickymccain
Amnesty International South Africa has called Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga to eradicate school pit toilets.
In an open letter to Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga over the weekend, it asked for a transparent and accurate update on the progress made so far. The death was not due to a lack of sanitation infrastructure at the school, department spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga previously told News24. Instead, he said, the school had upgraded its ablution facilities in 2018.
The organisation said there was no readily available information about the condition of infrastructure and sanitation facilities at each of the 22 945 public schools in South Africa.
