No toilets, support from the state: Eastern Cape school established in 1985 still doesn't have a single toilet for pupils, by LubabaloNgcukan
Dingilizwe Senior Primary School in the Eastern Cape was established in 1985, but still does not have a single toilet for pupils to use.
Jameson said that, in 2013, the department threatened to close down the school due to low enrolment numbers – there are 108 pupils. One of the reasons there are so few pupils, he says, is because of the inhumane conditions there. “This situation is really not nice. Yesterday [Wednesday] was Workers’ Day, but, for us, there is nothing to celebrate because our working conditions are appalling. How are we expected to work at a facility as teachers employed by the state where there are not even toilets?” Jameson said on Thursday.
“We see that other schools have toilets, but there are none at ours. We are forced to go to the bush. We first have to look for paper in dustbins so that we can clean ourselves after we have relieved ourselves,” she said.
