No toilets for Ngami schools
Monday, July 07, 2014
During the just-ended full North West District Council (NWDC) meeting it came to light that scores of schools are still facing a serious lack of functional and sanitary lavatories, which force students to indulge in open defecation. The councillor for Ikoga/Sepopa Botshelo Mapa revealed to the house that students at a Mogotho primary school across the Okavango River have spent three months using the bush as a toilet. Mapa complained that this has affected students’ performance in schools.
