The Social Justice Coalition on Saturday held a Social Order public hearing on an audit the SJC did regarding portable toilets. 

The audit revealed that of the 346 toilets supplied, only 256 were found and 170 of them were damaged. 

Premier of the Western Cape Helen Zille’s Spokesperson Zak Mbhele attended the hearing and said the audit done by SJC was very helpful. 

Mbele explains that it was quite clear that there was frustration and anger amongst many residents, who felt their expectations were not being met.

He added that he thought the social audit was a good exercise in active citizens taking responsibility and working towards solving their problems.

“Everything that was said and commented on, over the weekend I will be relaying to Premier Zille so that she can take it up with Mayor De Lille, in their meetings where they coordinate between province and City,” Said Mbele.
