But department says it's 80% of the way there

The Limpopo Department of Education has missed its own deadline to eradicate pit toilets in the province, civic organisation Equal Education said on Tuesday.

The court cases were launched by the family of five-year old Michael Komape who died when he fell into a pit toilet at his school in Chebeng Village outside Polokwane in Limpopo in January 2014. GroundUp covered the court hearings, in March 2023, a four-year old girl died after falling into a pit toilet in an Eastern Cape primary school.

There were 1,154 schools across all three priorities in need of sanitation upgrades in Limpopo, according to Kgaffe.
