Lindiwe Hendricks, the water affairs and forestry minister, says sanitation remains one of the main development challenges internationally. She was speaking in Bloemfontein while launching the provincial bucket eradication strategy.
The Free State has a backlog of around 120,000 sanitation units. Hendricks says to meet the national target of eradication by 2007 will require an unusual business approach.
“Not having universal access to basic sanitation by our people negates the efforts made by our government to rid the country of poverty. The poor are particularly faced and affected by the lack of sanitation.”
She says sending out a message that sanitation is a national priority and should be regarded as such by everyone. - SABC
