The four-year-old child's body was found inside a pit latrine at a primary school in Glen Grey, said Eastern Cape police spokesperson W/O Majola Nkohli.“A preliminary investigation led to the recovery of the learner's body in one of the school's pit toilets. Members from SAPS search and rescue retrieved her body.”The tragedy prompted renewed calls for government to do more to eradicate pit toilets.
Pit toilets, she said, are dangerous, and are not only violating the right to sanitation, but also the right to health, education, dignity, and privacy whilst in some cases posing a serious risk to the right to life, all of which are enshrined in the Constitution. , found that at some schools, the entire school would depend on two or three plain pit toilets. The report recommended that in order for the right to quality, equal basic education to be realised, the government must ensure all schools have access to adequate and safe water and sanitation. This included replacing all unsafe and unsanitary plain pit toilets by the end of 2020 and eradicating all pit toilets completely by 2023.
But CyrilRamaphosa He’s happy to keep paying David & other ministers who have nothing to show for their term in office their full salary & benefits for the rest of their life, while our children are still in the bush with pit latrines? What has DBE_SA about this now?
💔💔💔💔💔😥🤱😥
GovernmentZA Please make me understand why in 2023 do we still have pit toilets in primary schools? Is it because ministers and MEC’s kids don’t go to these schools? This is a heartbreaking story and must never happen again to a BLACK child.
🤔 a billion Rand to an English premier league club is easier to get the go ahead than replacing a toilet? This is just beyond tragic.
Oh No 💔
THAT IS HOW MUCH THE ANC CARE ABOUT PEOPL3
There should be no pit toilets. But why is a four year old already in primary school. They are only supposed to start school at 7, surely she is too young to be able to handle big school and toilets meant for bigger kids?
If we were a serious country, our law would hold government accountable for the promises they make and fail to keep. This death is a result of promises that government failed to keep.
😪🙏🏽
You want to know how the ANC has failed the Black nation their biggest voters....... Then read this article

This country is sometimes just too much honestly😞😞
PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa Saps
I recall when someone promised the eradication program got pit latrines. This is beyond tragic, may her soul RIP.
And wha will the minister of education say ?! What will be done to her Wha does CR say to the minister ?
Hey ANC Black lives matter. ...Not to you.
Make no mistake, this little girls death is at the hands of the ANC.
What pains me greatly is that we have fat packages for ministers & deputy ministers that we dont need cause what exactly do they do anyway? And we fail to eradicate pit latrines & claim there's no money when it's being squandered by politicians. We're failing our children. Shame!
EC people wake up please stop support ANC they don't care about you and your children please stop voting the.
Erm… a 4 years old comes home from school 🤷🏽♀️ how is a 4 yo left alone
But CyrilRamaphosa He’s happy to keep paying David & other mi is TERS who have nothing to show for their term in office their full salary & benefits for the rest of their life, while our children are still in the bush with pit latrines? What has DBE_SA done to sort this out?

Evolutionary 🇿🇦 - Waiting for government toilets. Maybe those with tv's can be taught how to dig... or hand out pamphlets with illustrations - 2023 the waiting nation drowning in 💩. Unbelievable 7 steps. Really
As long as the ANC remains in power such incidents won't end.
Usqedile u ramaphosa after his term he must go to jail for bonke lobuhlungu asizwise bona as a country
Evolutionary!!!!🇿🇦 Can you just evolve without government Please!!!! Time for tv programs to teach people how to dig French drain systems Please 🙏 Humanity Everyone waiting for a government toilet REALLY its 7 steps... dig.
Eastern Cape loves their ANC,we cannot always feel sorry for people who are proud and happy with their political party
This unnecessary death brought to you by the corrupt ruling party.
DBE_SA & MYANC, this is all your doing
💔💔💔While cadres are busy eating!!!
Sue the whole department of education.
I'm sorry mama, my sympathy with you as a father. I live in ec I see how black children are treated by black politicians. No one even noticed nor the teacher. Were is the class roll. People know not what occurs here.
Sue the department. Poor baby
💔
I thought GaytonMcK was taking care of this. CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA News24 Abramjee
Same departments talking about 4th industrial revolution
JvanLogg This is just fkin crazy how difficult is it to put a normal toilet in place or over a pit latrine if it’s unavoidable for whatever stupid reason so no one can fall into, I mean is there no one in those schools with some brains
Eastern Cape politicians don't really care about their people. Two presidents came from there. Kids need to be monitored around pit toilets. There should be a steel net 60cm below the the toilet seat
ANC why do we still have pit toilets
I really wish i can insult you South Africans very badly right now for saying we Nigerians use pit toilet, Over 200 million people, There you go bastards your Government is sinking like every other African country, We are waiting for your assylum applications
Absolutely tragic. Unfortunately we still vote for a big bloated cabinet who are rich and dont care about us
The state of progress within the Department of Basic Education since '94... Who's to blame for this injustice 😡
EC is cursed.
Waiting for black twitter outrage like we saw with the pool incident...
Viva anc viva!
But those new ministers and deputy ministers are preoccupied now browsing the internet searching for their shiny new tax payer funded luxury vehicles while kids die in pit toilets
It's the fact that ANC government has never had an interest in improving the lives of Black people. Check the status of our public health facilities and schools. They are very bad. In rural areas, we're still drinking water from the river with animals.
MbuyiseniNdlozi Very painful indeed!.
MbuyiseniNdlozi Yhooo
Whoever defends this government is a narcissistic murderer accomplice
Again?😡
Everything bad is happening in that province, its corruption left right and centre.
You have never read white kids dying in pit toilets Legacy of ANC
Can they sue EC government? It is on record saying it will eradicate pit toilets.
💔💔💔
MbalulaFikile
MYANC driving in million rand card but cannot build toilets
It defies absolute belief that 29 yrs into democracy we are still killing our children in pit toilets. This can never be an accident. This is murder by us of those who put all thier trust in us. CyrilRamaphosa,MbalulaFikile. When? I beg you, WHEN? Does this stop?
The parents must sue the education department and the government.
Both President Mandela and Mbeki come from EC.
Wtf is going on first a 2 year old by book shelf now this this is really outrageous and sad 😢
myanc in 2023!!! No shame at all!
The family must sue the department of education. Klaar
Didn’t CyrilRamaphosa promise to eradicate all school pit toilets in his first term? What happened? Broken promises and incompetent leadership has dire consequences. Keep voting ANC and this will keep happening.
Horrific that while in a place of safety no one found her - horrific that yet another child has died a death that no human being should , let alone an innocent child who needs to go to a toilet - How can this not be a human rights crime ?
Shamm... Eastern Cape paying dearly every day for their political naivete.
Commiserations for her loss. No parent must bury their children and no little innocent souls should be subjected to this ignominy and cruel end to their lives.
It is a sin that in 2023, children are still using pit toilets! Almost 30 years into democracy and what do the poor have to show for their unwavering support for the greedy, corrupt ANC? The ANC doesnt give a shit, it is not their children dying in these unaccpetable conditions!
This government is evil.
TizerAthi EC people should really start thinking hard about voting for the ANC!
They were at the forefront saying CR22 with their hands in the air like this ✌️ shouting 2nd term .
This is what the MYANC means when they say a better life for all. Better lives for politicians while children die in pit toilets in 2023. How long have we known about this issue. How long can we afford children dying.
Pit toilets in 2023 ... ya ne
This blood is on your hands AngieMotshekga DBE_SA
