  1. “” To what extent will bucket systems be eradicated? BonganiRadebe 13 September 2013

  2. Outline • Definition of terms • Background • Census key findings • Strategic challenges • Consequences • Recommendations

  3. Definitions

  4. Sanitation refers to the principles and practices relating to the collection, removal or disposal of human excreta and waste water as they impact users, operators and environment (Asmal et al. 1996:3)

  5. Basic sanitation service – an accessible, sustainable sanitation to a household, including the safe removal of human waste where this is appropriate and necessary(DWAF 2003)

  6. Background

  7. Bucket toilets are an emotive political and service delivery issue...

  8. Service delivery protests 2007-2012

  9. Top Five list of grievances

  10. What does Census 2011 say?

  11. How the question was asked • The question (H-10)-TOILET FACILITIES focused on the main type of toilet facility used by this household. • H-10 • What is the Main type of TOILET facility used by this household • 1= Flush toilet (connected to sewerage system) • 2= Flush toilet (with septic tank) • 3= Chemical toilet • 4= Pit toilet with ventilation (VIP) • 5= Pit toilet without ventilation • 6= Bucket toilet • 7= Other • 0= None .

  14. Definitions.... Bucket toilet?

  15. Definitions.... other?

  16. Census 2011- Key Findings • In 2011, more than half of the households (60%) were using a flush toilet • KwaZulu-Natal just 45% of households were using a flush toilet (sewer & septic) • The proportion of households using the bucket toilets decreased from 4,1% in 2001 to 2,1% in 2011 • KwaZulu-Natal 2%

  17. But... 6% reported NO toiletsand another 4% reported ‘other’That's more than 1 in 10 households without decent sanitation

  18. Census 2011 toilet access (KZN) • No decent sanitation • (bucket, none, other) • 2% • bucket 12% Outside sanitation (chemical, pit ) Flush 43% • (sewerage, septic) 45%

  19. Flush ` • (sewerage, septic) 13% 45% 48% 23% 21% 34% 32% 26% 49% 68% 21% 26%

  20. Outsidesanitation (chemical, VIP) 61% 43% 46% 52% 61% 54% 50% 63% 43% 70% 24% 61%

  21. No decent sanitation • (bucket, none, other) 25% 12% 6% 25% 17% 12% 18% 10% 7% 8% 9% 13%

  22. No decent sanitation • (bucket, none, other) 32,510 • 296,432 7,040 39,057 • thousand households 19,629 17,546 36,997 16,126 19,402 74,548 10,266 23,313

  23. Bucket toilet 2% 2% 3% 2%

  24. Ugu District

  25. Ugu • No decent sanitation • (bucket, none, other) 13% • Bucket = 1% • (3 124 household)

  26. Common request….You went to the households…. Show us where!!

  27. eThekwini • Bucket toilets reported • Census 2011

  28. uThungulu District

  29. What do other data sets say? • General Household Survey (2012) • 5,7% households with no toilet facility or using a bucket • Intestinal infectious diseases 2nd leading cause of death in the province (after TB) • While there are demographic, behavioural and environmental determinants of intestinal parasitic infection – sanitation is key

  30. (map disease by district)

  31. What do other data sets say?

  32. Challenges – what does it all mean?

  33. Challenges • Is the data correct? • Definitions and information provided by households • Census a snapshot to the night of 9 October 2011 (outcomes) • ‘main type used’ • other types available but are not operational • bucket used at night • Other categories: new phenomenon

  34. The bucket system is still a reality in some communities

  35. Challenges (cont) • Servicing of communal toilets and maintenance of flush toilets connected to sewers • Water interruptions • Vandalism of infrastructure • Interruptions in supply • Infrastructure funding • Budget constraints • Prioritisation • Growth and demand for housing

  36. We do not have a bucket toilet problem per se – we have a sanitation problem  Census was not an investigation and it's findings should not be pitched as such

  37. Consequences • Achievement of MDG targets • Causes of death • Leading causes of death relate to diahorrea • Especially significant in relation to infant mortality rates of 6%-2015 • Budget implications

  38. Recommendations • Stop debating data and buckets, start fixing sanitation • Data-evidence based decision making • Don’t assume the data is incorrect, investigate the reasons first • Encourage debate and understanding of methods and processes for improvement • Integrated planning • NDP,PGDS,IDPs: war rooms get information from the source
