A new range of bucket toilets has caused a stink among Gugulethu residents, who set them alight in the street to underline their demands for better sanitation.

The toilets were introduced into the Tambo Square informal settlement community almost two months ago.

Ward councillor Belinda Landingwe of the ANC said the toilets were intended "for the betterment of the community", which had previously used larger black buckets in a long-drop - toilets referred to as the black bucket system.

But the system has not met with everyone"s approval in the community, and yesterday afternoon police had to be called in to monitor the situation as angry residents confronted Landingwe.

As the residents sang and danced in front of the burning toilets, the overwhelming stench of burning faeces filled the air.

Well, I suppose that solves the problem, no more bucket toilets.

Wonder where they will take a dump now? (oh wait, that is thinking forward too far)
 
Did the residents pay for these toilets? If not they should be arrested for willful destruction of property.

Oh, dang... wait... I forgot we were living in lala land.
 
Monkeys do display similar attitude toward things. Monkeys are the only animal species that have been observed to intentionally break things for no other purpose than to have them broken. Dogs chew things to bits, because they like chewing. Cats scratch things to bits because they love scratching things (multitude of scars all over me prove that). Elephants trample things because they walk places and happen to weigh a lot.

But only monkeys break things for the apparent reason of wanting to break it. In captivity they would then leave the broken item and search for another thing to break.

Do these people not display a similar mentality? I'd call these people apes but I'd get infracted for that...again.
 
You know public toilets are always a problem, go to a public toilet in let's say cresta and you see piss on the seat, crap on the rim, HTF some people manage to do what they too public toilets is beyond me.

I can only imagine what these things must look like after a few days. If shopping centre's struggle to control their toilets i cannot imagine what these must look like.

Aeron dude you are so far from reality today, dogs like chewing so they chew and destroy almost anything they can, yet monkey's that break random things are different?

My tv remote gone, shoes destroyed, even my electric blankie was chewed beyond repair :(. Dogs are damn destructive for no good reason.

Vote ANC. Wallow in stink.


What did they expect? As most of us already knew, Showerhead did a great job of pulling the wool, didn't he? :D Sorry, zero sympathy from me. Now you can go back to using the bushes.

The logic is nowhere to be found. The comms minister with his 2 new 750 beemers is probably seen by these same people as the man for organising that li'l package. Zuma, with his humble little KZN residence is putting up fencing valued at over R50 million. Total costs of getting the place up to his standard are unknown but last I read, estimates are running up to R230 million.

I think one of the big problems is that the uneducated don't realise that when government pays for something, it is the people who are paying. Government is nothing without the people!

What a waste of money, they should hang the councillor for that area upside down in the poo and see how he likes it?
 
 
In Lala land they burn the toilets and defecate in the drinking water and rivers.
Sad really.

A cleverly disguised rain dance imo...

About the Indian Rain Dance


A rain dance is a dancing ceremony performed by some Native American Indian tribes, asking their spirits or gods to send rain. It is more common among Southwest Native Americans, who live in drier regions.


Time Frame
The rain dance normally takes place during the spring planting season and the summer months, before crops are harvested. The dance is asking the gods or spirits to send the appropriate amount of rain at the correct time to assure a plentiful crop.

Geography
Some Native American Indians of the Southwest include the rain dance as part of their religious ritual. Rain dances can be found in other cultures in different parts of the world, such as in ancient Egypt, 20th century Romania and in Slavic countries.

History of
Stories of the origins of ceremonial dances have been passed from generation to generation orally. When the Native Americans were being relocated in the 19th century, the United States Government banned certain tribal ceremonial dances. In some regions tribal members would tell federal representatives that they were performing a "rain dance," rather than disclosing the fact they were actually performing one of the banned ceremonies.
Features

One thing that makes rain dances unique from some other ceremonial dances is that both men and women participate in the ceremony. Rain dances vary from tribe to tribe, each with their unique rituals and ceremony. Large headdresses are often worn, along with specific ritual dress and accessories. Dance steps usually involve moving in a zigzag pattern as opposed to other ceremonial dances that involve standing in a circle.
Identification

Native Americans have many different types of ceremonial dances, which may vary from tribe to tribe, depending on their particular religious and spiritual beliefs and needs. The rain dance is perhaps one the most stereotypical Native American ceremonial dance depicted by Hollywood. Many Native American people continue to honor their ceremonial dances. Some Native Americans on reservations perform this ritual daily. Each year, on August 19th , the Pueblo Zuni people in New Mexico hold their rain dance ceremony. Both the men and women take part in the ceremony, each wearing masks. The men perform the ceremony with a nude torso, adorned with paint and a necklace of beads. A fox skin is attached to the back of the waistline of the embroidered apron they wear. Leather or silver bracelets are worn. Their legs are bare and they wear moccasins. Women performing the dance are fully covered, with only bare feet. Shawls cover their dress and hands.

You and I both know who does that. It isn't the average housewife from Sandton either.
 
"They have been known to do that on occasion."

Not regularly enough.

"You and I both know who does that. It isn't the average housewife from Sandton either."

Shh shh, racist! Apartheid! Bleh!

Um... Gugulethu is in the DA controlled Western Cape province and the DA controlled Cape Town metro. What's the ANC got to do with this?

So much senseless bashing sometimes. Also, have any of you ever had to use the bucket system or a pit latrine before? I can understand why people did not want more of the same - the bucket system is disgusting.
