TENANTS and customers at one of the popular complexes in Oshikango are calling on Freedom Square owners to have their toilets fixed.<\/p>\n

The issue of broken toilets has been described as an ugly problem that is getting worse for those wanting to make use of the toilet.<\/p>\n

It is either a person carrying N$3 to use the public toilets or waiting to get home to relieve themselves.<\/p>\n

Proper sanitation facilities promote health as people are allowed to dispose of their waste appropriately.<\/p>\n

This also prevents contamination of the environment and reduces risk to themselves and their surroundings.<\/p>\n

During the visit by Informant\u00e9, one easily observes how a customer drops everything to rush to the corner of the complex to ease themselves.<\/p>\n

And when the public toilet is closed, they cross the road to the nearby local bar to make use of the toilet.<\/p>\n

Grace Amon said the situation has been ongoing for over a year and nothing had been done.<\/p>\n

“Our health is being endangered and little is being done,” she said.<\/p>\n

Amon indicated that one is discouraged to visit Freedom Square as their health is not considered.<\/p>\n

However, Freedom Square supervisor, Tresia Hasina indicated that they are aware of the matter and working around the clock to fix the situation.<\/p>\n

“The toilet pipes are a big issue and we planning to have them all fixed,” she added.<\/p>\n

Hasina indicated that some of the toilets used to be blocked, but they have contracted someone to have the issue of the toilet addressed.<\/p>\n
