Western Cape Premier Helen Zille said the on-going toilet war is disrespecting Former President Nelson Mandela. 

Nine people were arrested on Tuesday after they dumped human waste at the Cape Town International Airport. 

Premier Spokesperson Zak Mbhele said at this time when the nation is coming to terms with former President Nelson Mandela’s ailing health, for these actions to continue is disrespectful.

Meanwhile the Social Justice Coalition has given the City of Cape Town three months to come up with a viable plan to tackle the ongoing sanitation crisis in the informal settlements across the City.

This comes after more than three hundred residents from the Social Justice Coalition marched through the City of Cape Town and handed over a memorandum to the human rights commission and to a representative from the Mayor’s office on Tuesday.

Spokesperson for the SJC Phumeza Mlugwana said they have two weeks to ensure to start drafting a policy and plan, 8 weeks to ensure that they engaged communities in that plan and three months ensure that there is an operation plan.
