STATS SA estimates that about 20% of the households do not have sanitation facilities, whereas The
Development Partnership study puts the backlog at 40% (12 987 households out of an estimated 32
123) It is evident from the above table that about 20% of the households in the municipal area does
not have access to any type of toilet facility. The following table classifies households’ access to
toilet facilities according to population group. The 20% population with no access to a toilet facility
comprises of black people only. This confirms that access to some basic services, such as sanitation,
is still skewed according to racial groups.
