5. Bucket eradication – KwaZulu-Natal
● KZN fortunate to have limited buckets systems – only two :
Indaka municipality (Ekuvukeni town)
Umzimkulu municipality (ex Eastern Cape Province)
● Both addressed through Provincial Project Consolidate initiatives :
Indaka – 192 buckets eradicated at cost of R million. Project complete. Flush toilets connected to existing sewerage system.
Umzimkulu – 100 buckets being eradicated at cost of R 1.8 million. Flush toilets connected to existing sewerage system. Project 85% complete. 80 toilets installed. 30 handed over. Anticipated completion end October 2007
● KZN not challenged as other provinces in meeting National target. Projects were straight forward and standard “tried and tested” sanitation systems have been put in place, above basic service levels for sanitation.

17. So what do we do ?
Prioritization of projects as a country (do we need to think like this)
Funding gearing
- credibility
- partnerships (International)
- banks
- re-look at MIG allocations – base on MDG priorities
Materials Plant expansions
- Imports
Human resources - Marketing
- Training
- Mentoring
- Gearing
- Shared services
Ops & Maint - Pilot
- For heaven’s sake, please
