According to the 2022 census, the Northern Cape has the highest proportion of households still using bucket toilets. A failed project saw new flushing toilets installed, but never piped.
CAMPBELL - In the Northern Cape farming town of Campbell, nearly 200 families are still suffering the indignity of using buckets to relieve themselves because of a fumbled multi-million rand toilet project., the Northern Cape has the highest proportion of households still using bucket toilets at 4.5%. In the Siyancuma local municipality, where Campbell is located, it’s 9.6%. And the proportion of households using pit toilets here is similar at 9.7%.
"The department opted to request the Housing Development Agency to complete some, however, the Minister of Water and Sanitation requested that the project be handed back to the Department for implementation in 2021." Some of the toilet infrastructure Campbell residents must use to relieve themselves.
