Furthermore, mindful of the positive work being done by the Portfolio Committee on Human Settlements, led by chairperson Dambuza, in its oversight responsibilities, I urge the committee, including the select committee from the NCOP, to redouble their efforts in coming down hard on those who are responsible for construction. On our part, we have taken some of the severest action against those who engage in shoddy workmanship or fail to adhere to norms and standards on, for example, sanitation. In this regard I want to say it is totally unacceptable that, although we provide funds, responsible government entities and certain municipalities fail to even build a simple toilet whilst there is a serious stench of the bucket system in some parts of the country. Where some toilets are built, they are left uncovered, as in the case of the recent scandalous cases involving Makhaza and Moqhaka, in the Western Cape and Free State respectively, which even prompted the Human Rights Commission to get involved.
