The DA wishes to express our sincere condolences to the family of the 4-year old girl whose body was discovered in a pit toilet of a primary school in Glen Grey, Eastern Cape after her mother raised the alarm when she failed to return home on Monday.
This tragic death at the hands of an uncaring ANC government would have been prevented if the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, had not wasted time in eradicating all pit toilets from schools.
The ANC government has the blood of this child on its hands. They have had ample opportunity to eradicate these unsafe toilets over the years – government’s failure to upgrade school infrastructure makes them complicit in this child’s untimely death.
