Open-Toilets for the Poor Unconstitutional

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is a joke.

"The construction of unenclosed toilets at the Makhaza informal settlement on the Cape Flats meant that the City of Cape Town had lost sight of the constitutional rights and needs of the poor, the Western Cape High Court ruled on Friday. 

In a judgment that lasted longer than three hours, Judge Nathan Erasmus declared the provision of unenclosed toilets at the settlement to be a violation of the residents' constitutional rights to dignity. 

He ruled that an agreement concluded between the then mayor of Cape Town and the City of Cape Town itself for the provision of unenclosed toilets, was unreasonable, unlawful and inconsistent with the mayor and City of Cape town's constitutional duties to provide for the basic needs of the poor."

Comment: No sh*t hey.  What was the white party thinking?  Premier Helen Zille should be made to pay damages too or at the very least asked to demonstrate how to use an open-toilet ;0)
