Fingo township residents in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape have appealed to the Makana Municipality to fast-track the eradication of the bucket system due to it being a health hazard.

 

They say the system is still in use despite promises of flushing toilets by the municipality eight months ago.

 

Chairperson of the Street Committee, Ntombi Ogqoyi said residents say the toilet structures have been built but the plumbing remains unfinished.

 

Others were told to move out of their houses because the sewerage pipes run across their plots.
