It has been more than six months now that the ladies staff, as well as visitors to the eMalahleni Magistrate Court aren’t able to use clean hygienic restrooms.
The restrooms are in a terrible state. There aren’t even seats on the toilets for the women to sit on.

The floors are soaking wet and it is extremely dirty.

“Those bathrooms are only open to determine weather they need maintenance or a complete revamp,” said Mabena.
