ANCYL ungovernability campaign stinks
The ANCYL has lost the plot. In the last two days, ANCYL representatives have flung human faeces from portable flush toilets at the Western Cape Provincial Parliament and at a bus carrying Helen Zille.
They're supposedly doing this to protest against sanitation services in Cape Town - in particular, the ANCYL is unhappy about the portable flush toilets the DA government is offering to communities in Cape Town.
Cape Town is the leading metro for sanitation delivery in the country. Here are the statistics for the percentage of people with either flush or chemical toilets per province:
Western Cape: 90.5%
Gauteng: 86.5%
Free State: 67.7%
Northern Cape: 66.5%
National Average: 62.6%
KZN: 53.2%
North West: 46.2%
Eastern Cape: 46%
Mpumalanga: 45.2%
Limpopo: 22.7%
On top of that, the City of Cape Town is the best performing metro at 97.2%. So the question is, why is the ANCYL protesting in Cape Town - which has the best sanitation in South Africa - and not in the rest of the country, where millions of people are forced to use buckets as toilets?
