The City of Cape said it has always considered fitting microchips to portable toilets in informal settlements. 

The microchip would help the city in monitoring the toilets in regards with them being serviced or moved. 

This past weekend the Social Justice Coalition held public hearings to reveal its audit that it did regarding chemical toilets in Khayelitsha. 

The audit found that the toilets were not maintained and cleaned properly.  

Mayoral Committee Member for Utility Services Ernest Sonnenberg said the first part the City is monitoring of chemical toilets, the City is thinking of putting micro-chips into the chemical toilets to help them monitor when the toilets are serviced.
