Highlighting the improved technology, Shabalala stated that the new latrines use chemical treatments that enable waste to decompose, eliminating the need to dig new pits when the toilets are full; a significant improvement from the traditional system. The project, valued at R1.6 million, is expected to be completed within six months and will create about 30 employment opportunities for local residents.
