'There is something wrong here': questions over how primary school pupil's body ended up behind pit toilet

Also shedding light on Viki’s death, basic education minister Angie Motshekga said the school had new toilets and that the little girl’s body was found “in the tank of a senior toilet, not the age appropriate toilet where she would have normally gone”.

“All 911 have been allocated to implementing agents with some of them scheduled for completion by Friday.” Their deaths prompted the launch of the Sanitation Appropriate for Education initiative in August 2018 to accelerate the provision of proper sanitation facilities in schools.
