The Democratic Alliance has requested the Human Rights Commission to investigate more incidents of houses without toilets in Viljoenskroon.

DA Leader in the Free State Patricia Kopane said the DA has found that a newly developed housing project in Northleigh, Viljoenskroon does not provide for any toilets in the houses.

Kopane also said the Moqhaka Municipality was recently subpoenaed by the HRC on the DA’s request, after the municipality failed to honour recommendations to rebuild unenclosed toilets in Rammulotsi.

She added that the latest neglect to provide proper toilets is a sign that the ANC governed Moqhaka municipality repeatedly ignores the right to dignity of residents as well as the national housing code, which includes a minimum quality for basic services, including sanitation.
