26 September 2023 - NW2822
Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
With reference to her reply to question 104 on 8 March 2023 and the response from the Gauteng province (details furnished), what are the relevant details of the discrepancy in the reported total number of pit toilets at schools in KwaZulu-Natal (106 versus 1 495)?
Reply:
The reason for the discrepancy is as a result of the lag in the update of data after projects have reached practical completion. Further, the 1 495 schools with pits toilets from KZN in response to question 104 include schools that still have pit toilets that are yet to be demolished after the schools have already received proper toilets.
