Sanitation services in the northern fringe of City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality: the case of Ga-Rankuwa, Mabopane, Temba and Winterveld Townships

Abstract

Access to decent sanitation is a basic human right in South Africa which should be universally enjoyed by all citizens. The sanitation crisis is a growing “pandemic” in the country and in most developing countries as well as globally. South Africa’s water shortage and drought challenges cannot be isolated from sanitation services, as it is linked with wastewater management systems. Poor sanitation reduces human wellbeing and economic and social development, and is linked to the transmission of diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, hepatitis A, dysentery, typhoid and polio, and aggravates stunting. The sanitation crisis is exacerbated by the lack of political will to prioritise sanitation, limited financial resources, poverty, mushrooming shack settlements, urbanisation and a poor institutional response to the increasing demands in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. Looking at the sanitation backlogs in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in terms of the number of households without a hygienic toilet, the statistics show that, in 2006, the number was 158 000 and, since then, the sanitation backlog has increased annually at a rate of 0.62% to 168 000 in 2016. During 2009 and 2013 the city made advances in addressing the sanitation backlogs; however, the on-going increase in households, particularly in informal settlements, due to the high migration into the region, as well as population growth, has put additional strain on household infrastructure (Cogta 2020: Online). This study examined the provision of sanitation services in the country as well as in the northern fringe of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. It investigated the approach used by the Municipality to provide sanitation services. The emergence of a new democratic system in South Africa and the political changes in 1994 brought an opportunity in all sectors of government for a comprehensive review of policy, including the water services sector. The grounded theory is an analytical lens that is used in this study to discuss issues relating to the provision of sanitation services. According to Bulawa (2014:147), the grounded theory was developed by Glaser and Strauss in the 1960s when they were working together on a staff’s handling of dying patients in hospitals (Glaser & Strauss 1967). This study also focuses on sanitation frameworks, legislations and regulations. The Department formulates policies and the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality implements sanitation services on behalf of the national department, while Tshwane residents are the beneficiaries of sanitation programmes. South Africa requires innovation that is deployable on a large scale to solve its sanitation challenges, especially in densely populated areas such as the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality where there is a tendency to store waste. Moreover, there is an absence of a sustainable approach to manage the waste at household level once the latrine pit or septic tank is filled. By improving the management of human waste, greater privacy, dignity, improved child health and personal safety, especially for women and children, can be ensured. In 2017, the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation mentioned that the capital replacement value of the extant water and sanitation infrastructure was estimated at R1 362 billion. However, the extant assets are depreciating. Consequently, the Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation posits that the current book value of the infrastructure stands at approximately R584 billion, or 43% of the capital replacement cost. Furthermore, the operational reality is that the existing infrastructure was “stretched” because of significant underinvestment in its maintenance, including delays in the renewal of aged infrastructure. The Department of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation has an accumulated backlog of R59 billion in refurbishment (DWS 2018:49). The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality posits that the 2021/22 budget will be geared towards stabilising the finances of the municipality and driving quality service delivery, while at the same time ensuring that the rates and tariff increases are as low as possible despite the steep increases from Rand Water and Eskom. The tariff increases for the 2021/22 financial year are as follows: sanitation is 10% and water is 8% (CTMM 2021: Online). Moreover, the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality Council has approved the City’s budget for the 2021/22 financial year with a total budget of R43 billion – comprising of an operating budget of R39 billion and a capital budget of almost R4 billion. The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality has a dedicated division, named the Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Planning and Implementation Division, for the promotion of sanitation and hygiene services as well as the allocation of adequate funding, on an annual basis. The Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Planning and Implementation division is responsible for the provision of sanitation services, bulk water supply, and water and sanitation planning and implementation for the city and for capital projects, i.e. new developments.

Ukufikelela kwezococeko olufanelekileyo lilungelo elisisiseko eMzantsi Afrika nelifanele ukufunyanwa ngothakazelelo ngabo bonke abemi. Ingxaki yezococeko "sisifo" esandayo kwilizwe kunye nakumazwe amaninzi asaphuhlayo nakwihlabathi jikelele. Ukunqongophala kwamanzi eMzantsi Afrika kunye nemingeni yembalela ayinakubekelwa bucala kwiinkonzo zogutyulo, njengoko inxulunyaniswa neenkqubo zolawulo lwamanzi amdaka. Ucoceko olukumgangatho osezantsi lunciphisa impilo yabantu kunye nophuhliso lwezoqoqosho nezentlalo, kwaye kunxulunyaniswa nokusasazwa kwezifo ezifana norhudo, ikholera, ihepatitis A, isifo segazi, ityphoid nepoliyo. Ingxaki yezococeko yenziwa kukunqongophala kwemfuneko yezopolitiko yokubeka phambili ucoceko, ukunqongophala kwemali, intlupheko, ukuhlaliswa kwabantu kumatyotyombe, ukufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini kunye nokusabela okungathathi ntweni kwiziko kwiimfuno ezandayo kuMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane. Xa sijonga ukusilela kwezococeko kwiSixeko saseTshwane kuMasipala oMbaxa ngokwenani lamakhaya angenazo izindlu zangasese ezicocekileyo, amanani abonisa ukuba ngonyaka wama-2006, inani lalingama-158 000 kwaye, ukusukela ngoko, ukusilela kwezococeko kuye kwanda minyaka le ngezinga le-0.62% ukuya kuma-168 000 ngonyaka wama-2016. Ngonyaka wama-2009 nangonyaka wama-2013 isixeko senze inkqubela phambili ekulungiseni ukusilela kwezococeko; nangona kunjalo, ukwanda okuqhubekayo kwamakhaya, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezinamatyotyombe, ngenxa yokufudukela kwabantu phezulu kulo mmandla, kunye nokukhula kwabemi, kubeke uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo kwiziseko zophuhliso zamakhaya (Cogta 2020: Online). Olu phando luvavanye/luphengulule ukubonelelwa kweenkonzo zogutyulo elizweni nakwinqanaba elingasentla loMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane. Luphande indlela esetyenziswa nguMasipala ukubonelela ngeenkonzo zogutyulo. Ukuvela kwenkqubo entsha yedemokhrasi eMzantsi Afrika kunye notshintsho kwezopolitiko ngonyaka we-1994 kwazisa ithuba kuwo onke amacandelo karhulumente lokuphononongwa ngokupheleleyo komgaqo-nkqubo, kuquka necandelo leenkonzo zamanzi. Inkcazo-bungcali yohlalutyo yemiselweyo (grounded theory) ethe yasetyenzisiwa kolu phando ukuxoxa ngemiba enxulumene nokunikezelwa kweenkonzo zogutyulo. NgokukaBulawa (2014: 147), inkcazo-bungcali emiselweyo (grounded theory) yaphuhliswa nguGlaser noStrauss ngeminyaka yoo-1960 xa babesebenza kunye ekusingatheni abasebenzi malunga nezigulana ezazisweleka kwizibhedlele (Glaser & Strauss 1967). Olu phando lukwajolise kubume bezikhokelo zococeko, imithetho nemigaqo. ISebe lenza imigaqo-nkqubo kwaye uMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane uphumeza iinkonzo zogutyulo egameni lesebe lesizwe, ngelixa abahlali baseTshwane bengabaxhamli beenkqubo zococeko. UMzantsi Afrika udinga ukwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha ezinokusetyenziswa, ubukhulu becala, ukusombulula imiceli mingeni yezococeko, ingakumbi kwiindawo ezinabantu abaninzi ezifana noMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane apho kukho umkhwa wokugcina inkunkuma. Ngapha koko, kukho ukungabikho kwendlela ezinzileyo yokulawula inkunkuma kwinqanaba lekhaya kumngxunya wendlu yangasese okanye itanki yokubolisa. Ngokuphucula ukulawulwa kwenkunkuma yabantu, ubumfihlo obukhulu, isidima, ukuphuculwa kwempilo yabantwana kunye nokhuseleko lomntu, ngakumbi kwabasetyhini nasebantwaneni, kunokuqinisekiswa. Ngonyaka wama-2017, iSebe lokuHlaliswa kwaBantu, aManzi noGutyulo lakhankanya ukuba ixabiso eliyinkunzi endaweni yeziseko zophuhliso lwamanzi nogutyulo lwelindle liqikelelwa kuma-R1, 362 yezigidigidi. Nangona kunjalo, ii-asethi ezikhoyo ziyahla. Ngenxa yoko, iSebe lokuHlaliswa kwaBantu, aManzi noGutyulo licacisa ukuba ixabiso langoku lencwadi kwiziseko zophuhliso limi malunga nama-R584 ezigidi zezigidi, okanye ama-43% yeendleko zokutshintshwa kwemali eyinkunzi. Ngapha koko, inyani yokusebenza kukuba iziseko zophuhliso ezikhoyo “zoluliwe” ngenxa yotyalo mali oluncinci kulondolozo lwayo, kubandakanya nokulibaziseka kohlaziyo lwezixhobo ezidala. ISebe lokuHlaliswa kwaBantu, aManzi noGutyulo liqokelele umsebenzi ongekenziwa we-R59 yezigidigidi kuhlaziyo (DWS 2018: 49). UMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane umisela ukuba uhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lowama-2021/22 luza kujolisa ekuzinziseni ezemali kumasipala nokuqhuba ukuziswa kweenkonzo ezisemgangathweni, kwangaxeshanye kuqinisekiswe ukuba iirhafu kunye nonyuso lwamaxabiso luphantsi kangangoko ngaphandle kokunyuka okuthe chatha, isuka eRand Water nakwa-Eskom. Ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunyaka-mali wama-2021/22 koku kulandelayo: ugutyulo li-10% kwaye amanzi asi-8% (CTMM 2021: Kwi Intanethi). Ngapha koko, iBhunga loMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane livume uhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lweSixeko kunyaka-mali wama 2021/22 ngohlahlo-lwabiwo-mali olupheleleyo lwama-R43 ezigidigidi - oluquka uhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lokusebenza lwama-R39 ezigidigidi kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwezigidi eziphantse zafikelela kwi-R4 yezigidigidi. UMasipala oMbaxa weSixeko saseTshwane unecandelo elizinikeleyo, elibizwa ngokuba liCandelo lezaManzi nokuCocwa kweziSeko zoCoceko kunye nokuPhumeza, ukukhuthaza iinkonzo zogutyulo nococeko kunye nokwabiwa kwemali eyoneleyo rhoqo ngonyaka. ICandelo lezaManzi noCoceko lokuCwangciswa nokuPhumeza linoxanduva lokubonelela ngeenkonzo zogutyulo, ukuhanjiswa kwamanzi ngobuninzi, kunye nocwangciso lwamanzi nococeko, nokuphunyezwa kwesixeko kunye neeprojekthi ezinkulu, oko kukuthi, uphuhliso olutsha.

Ukutholakala noma ukuba nendawo enezithunzi yendle kuyilungelo lomuntu eliyisisekelo ENingizimu Afrika okufanele lithokozelwe yizo zonke izakhamuzi. Inselelo noma inkinga youkuthuthwa kwendle “iyisifo” esandayo ezweni kanye nasemazweni amaningi asathuthuka kanye nasemhlabeni jikelele. Izinselelo zokushoda noma zokusweleka kwamanzi kanye nesomiso eNingizimu Afrika azikwazi ukwahlukaniswa nezinsinzakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle, njengoba kuxhunyaniswa nezinhlelo zokuphathwa kwamanzi angcolile. Ukuthuthwa kwendle okungekho ezingeni elifanele kunciphisa impilo yabantu yabantu nokuthuthuka komnotho nakwezenhlalo futhi kuxhumene nokudluliswa kwezifo ezifana nohudo, ikholera, i-hepatitis A, isifo sohudo,i- typhoid kanye novendle, kubhebhethekisa ukuqina. Inkinga youkuthuthwa kwendle ibhebhethekiswa ukungabibikho noma ukusweleka kwentando yezepolitiki youkubeka phambili inhlanzeko, ukungabi namandla kwezimali, ubuphofu, ukuhlaliswa kwabantu emijondolo, ukufudukwelwa emadolobheni kanye nokuphendula ngendlela okungeyona ezikhungweni zezimfuno ezandayo kuMasipala weDolobha lase-Tshwane. Uma sibheka ukusilela emuva kokukhucululwa kwendle EMkhandlwini weDolobha lase-Tshwane ngenani lemindeni engenayo indlu yangasese ehlanzekile, izibalo zikhomba ukuthi, ngonyaka ka-2006, isibalo sasingu 15800 futhi, kusukela lapho, ukusilela kwenzanzeko kuye kwanda minyaka yonke izinga lika-0.62% kuya ku-168 000 ngo-2016. Ngonyaka ka- 2009 no 2013 idolobha lenze intuthuko ekubhekaneni nokusilela emuva kokuthuthwa kwendle; kodwa-ke, ukwanda okuqhubekayo komndeni, ikakhulukazi emijondolo, ngenxa yokufudukela kwabantu abaningi esifundenidue, kanye nokwanda kwenani labantu, kubeke ubunzima obungeziwe kwingqalasizinda yezindluh (I-Cogta 2020: ku-inthanethi). Lolu cwaningo noma lesisifundo luhlolisise ukuhlinzekwa kwezinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle ezweni kanye nasengxenyeni esenyakatho yoMkhandludoloba wase-Tshwane. Kuphenywe indlela esetshenziswa ngu-Masipala ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle. Ukuvela kohlelo olusha lwentando yeningi eNingizimu Afrika kanye nezinguquko kwezepolitiki ngonyaka ka-1994 kwaletha ithuba kuyo yonke imikhakha kahulumeni lokubuyekezwa ngokuphelele kwenqubomgomo, kubandakanya nomkhakha wezinsizakalo zamanzi. Ithiyori ebizwa kokuthi pheqelezi i- (The grounded theory) iyilensi yokuhlaziya esetshenziswe kulolu cwaningo noma kulesifundo ukuxoxa ngezinkinga eziphathelene nokuhlinzekwa kwezinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle. Ngokusho kuka Bulawa (2014:147), lethiyori ebiza ngokuthi i-(grounded theory) yasungulwa ngu-Glaser no Strauss ngonyaka wo-1960 ngenkathi besebenza bonke ndawonye ekuphatheni kwabasebenzi ngokuphathwa kweziguli ezishonayo esibhedlela(u-Glaser no Strauss 1967). Lolu cwaningo lubuye lubheke ezinhlakeni zokuthuthwa kwendle, imithetho kanye nemithethonqubo. UMnyango wenza iminqubomgomo futhi uMasipala waseDolobheni lase Tshwane wenza izinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle egameni lomnyango kazwelonke, kanti izakhamuzi zase-Tshwane yizo ezihlomula ngezinhlelo zokuthuthwa kwendle. INginizimu Afrika idinga ukuqanjwa okusha okusetshenziswayo ngezinga eliphezulu ukuxazulula izinselelo zayo zokuthuthwa kwendle, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi ezifana noMkhandludolobha wase-Tshwane lapho kunomkhuba wokugcina khona imfucuza. Ngaphezulu kwalokho, ayikho indlela eqhubekayo yokulawula imfucuzo ezingeni lasekhaya uma umgodi wendlu yangasese noma ithangi lokubhuqa seligcwalisiwe. Ngokwenza ngcono ukuphathwa kwendle yabantu, ubumfihlo okukhulu, isithunzi, impilo yezingane ephephile nokuphepha komuntu siqu, ikakhulukazi kwabesifazane nezingane, kungaqinisekiswa. Ngo-2017, uMnyango wezokuhlaliswa kwabantu, Amanzi nenhlanzeko wabalula ukuthi inani elizobuyiselwa imali kwingqalasizinda ekhona yamanzi nokuthuthwa kwendle lalinganiselwa ku-R1 362 wamabhiliyoni. Kodwa-ke, izimpahla ezikhona zehla ngamanani. Ngenxa yalokho, uMnyango wezokuhlaliswa kwabantu, Amanzi nenhlanzeko uthi inani lamanje lezincwadi lengqalasizinda limi cishe ku-R584 wamabhiliyoni, noma ku- 43% wezindleko zokufaka imali enkulu. Ngaphezulu kwalokho, iqiniso okuyilona elisebenzayo ukuthi ingqalasizinda esivele ikhona”yeluliwe”ngenxa yokungabikhona kwemali eningi ekuyigcineni kwayo, kufaka phakathi ukubambezeleka kokuvuselelwa kwengqalasizinda endala. uMnyango wezokuhlaliswa kwabantu, Amanzi nenhlanzeko usilele emuva ngo R59 wamabhiliyoni ekusetshenzisweni kabusha (DWS 2018:49). UMasipala weDolobha lase-Tshwane uthi isabelozimali sango-2021/22 sizobhekela izinsiza zimali zikamasipala nokuqhuba ukulethwa kwezidingo ezisezingeni eliphakeme, kanti ngesikhathi esifanayo siqinisekisa ukuthi amanani kanye nokunyuka kwamanani entengo aphansi ngangokunokwenzeka yize kukhuphuke kakhulu kusuka e-Rand Water nakwa Eskom. Ukunyuswa kwemali ekhokhwayo yonyaka wezimali ka-2021/22 imi kanje: ukuthuthwa kwendlle ngu-10% kuthi amanzi kube ngu-8% (CTMM 2021: inthanethi). Ngaphezulu kwalokho, uMkhandlu kaMasipala weDolobha lase-Tshwane usamukele isabelomali seDolobha sonyaka wezimali ka-2021/22 ngesabelomali esiphelele sika- R43 wamabhiliyoni – esifaka phakathi isabelomali sokusebenza sika-R39 wamabhiliyoni kanye nesabelozimali cishe esingu- R4 wamabhiliyoni. UMkhandludolobha wase-Tshwane unophiko oluzinikele, olubizwa ngoPhiko lokuhlelwa Kanye nokusebenza kwengqalasizinda yamanzi nokuthuthwa kwendle, ukuze kuthuthukiswe izinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle nenhlanzeko kanye nokwabiwa kwemali eyanele, njalo ngonyaka. Uphiko lokuhlelwa kwengqalasizinda yamanzi nenhlanzeko lubhekele ukuhlinzekwa kwezinsizakalo zokuthuthwa kwendle, ukuhlinzekwa ngamanzi amaningi, nokuhlelwa kwamanzi nokukhucululwa kwendle kanye nokuqaliswa kweDolobha kanye namaphrojekthi amakhulu, okungukuthi intuthuko entsha.
