The North West Province is hosting the Human Settlements Ministerial Sanitation Task Team for a provincial visit to inspect unclosed and incomplete toilets. The weeklong visit commences today Monday 14 November 2011 in Mahikeng in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District.
As part of its programme to investigate challenges related to sanitation and engagement with key stakeholders that includes municipalities, the team is scheduled to visit the Lomanyaneng and Motsoseng projects in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District, the Haartebeesfontein project in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District and other projects across the province.
The team led by MP Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was established by Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale in September to advise him on how to deal with the problem of incomplete and uncovered toilets in the country.
The team is mandated toestablish the scale of the sanitation problem, its nature and further identify irregularities and malpractices and report back to the Minister by January next year with recommendations relating to policy gaps, legislative short comings, budgetary issues or any other matters.
