    Dirty toilets: here to stay?

    Stall holders and commuters at the Queen Street taxi rank say they have given up on getting the public toilets cleaned up.

    Stall holders and commuters at the Queen Street taxi rank say they have given up on getting the public toilets cleaned up.

    Entrepreneurs say it is an attractive spot for an informal business but the smelly, filthy conditions and their proximity to food stalls have put them off opening up shop there.

    Efforts to get them cleaned up have been unsuccessful and many of the merchants, who sell everything from beer to sweets, have become apathetic or closed down.

    Efforts have been made but nothing seems to change, said security guard Lukhanyo Mbane. He said several people have tried to bring up the issue with the local municipality but no changes have been made.

    Some people have given up and find it normal to eat and sell merchandise around dirty toilets, Mbane said. We have accepted it.

    However, not everyone seems to point fingers at the local municipality. A resident of the area, Mzu Saule, said, we cannot blame the municipality for everything; must they teach us how to use toilets now?
