[WorldToiletDay] 🚽🚻 This year’s theme for World Toilet Day is “Toilets are a place for peace”. As it stands 1770 South African public schools still have unsafe and illegal pit toilets on site even after years of promises to remove plain pit toilets in schools. Water and sanitation form part of the norms and Standards that the @basic_education_rsa_ is mandated, by law to follow.
We call on @dbe_za, @siv_gwarube, LDoE, and @kzn_education to add the removal of ALL plain pit toilets from schools to your performance contract as NO learners should not continue to be stripped of their dignity because of your failures! We call for action on safe and clean sanitation but also underscore the link between sanitation, safety and human dignity.! #FixOurSchools #SeritiModikolong #SofundaSonke #worldtoiletday
