Health Minister speaks out against dumping of human waste

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi says dumping human waste during protests in Cape Town is an "attack against the whole population.

Breaking his silence on the protests, aimed at securing better sewerage facilities, Motsoaledi said what is currently happening in the Western Cape defies all manner of logic and is outright inhumane.

His sentiments came as nine people were expected to appear in court for allegedly dumping human waste at the Cape Town International Airport departures terminal.

The nine, two of whom are reportedly ANC members facing party disciplinary action for similar offences, were arrested on Tuesday.
