Every morning Mavis Saunders from Harry Gwala informal settlement in Philippi, Cape Town wakes up to puddles of foul-smelling sewage water outside her door. Her shack is near a broken pipe that has been overflowing for nearly nine months.
Community leader Nosakhele Zenzile says there are more than 1,000 shacks in Harry Gwala. The City installed 120 flush toilets but only ten currently work. “I know the number because we counted them a few days ago,” she says. At Qaduqadu informal settlement, on average about ten families share one portable chemical toilet each and these are emptied three days a week.
