Asivikelane Western Cape #10: Knysna and Stellenbosch – Women need safe sanitation

20 Mar 2023

40% of women in Knysna’s informal settlements use chemical toilets. For many of them, this is an unsafe form of sanitation. In Stellenbosch, the solid waste collection service has deteriorated, exposing residents to numerous health risks. We advise both municipalities on how to fix these service delivery issues.

Asivikelane Western Cape #9 Many residents in Knysna and Stellenbosch informal settlements remain without access to water, sanitation or refuse removal and these services are not fixed when they break.
