The City of Cape Town has decided to shelve plans to install dozens of toilets at the Makhaza settlement in Khayelitsha according to a report by the SABC.
Makhaza was the centre of a massive public relations nightmare when the so called open toilet scandal broke out earlier in the year.
The City then responded by tearing the toilets down.
City of Cape Town Housing spokesperson Herman Steyn said the city will only engage via the courts.
Residents this morning barricaded streets in protest at not being consulted by the City in the matter.
This after the Western Cape High Court had ordered that all uncovered toilets in the settlement be covered with corrugated iron as an interim measure pending a final decision next year.
Spokesperson for the city Kylie Hatton said that the city is engaging with residents who have covered their own toilets regarding offering assistance with materials.
