SHOCKING SITUATION: Some of the people who have to make do with six toilets in Regorogile in Thabazimbi, Limpopo. photos: Mohau Mofokeng

NO TOILET: Neliswa Nkwenkwe in what was supposed to be the toilet in her house.

TOTALLY INADEQUATE : Sello Mmebe points to the communal toilets in Regorogile.

So people use nearest bush in veld

The stench at Regorogile township in Thabazimbi is overpowering and the foul smell does not only come from a burst sewage pipe or rotting carcass.
