|||Cape Town -
Cabinet on Thursday condemned the dumping of human waste by protesters opposing portable flush toilets in informal settlements in the Western Cape.
“While, government respects citizens' right to protest, this particular form of protest is undignified and poses a serious health risk to communities and to the protesters themselves,” Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane said in a statement.
Citizens should raise their problems in a constructive manner and respect public institutions.
“Cabinet further called on authorities to speedily address issues in a manner that is in keeping with our Constitution.” - Sapa
