Misery on state farm: Mesco farm residents lack toilets amid impending eviction

Cape Town - Residents of the state-owned Mesco farm in Stellenbosch say they have been left in the lurch by the government, complaining that although they have been accommodated on the farm, they have no access to toilets while they are faced with eviction in the next few months.
While the group of around 75 people has been fighting an eviction notice from the farm’s tenant, a week ago their portable toilets were taken off the property by the Housing Development Agency’s (HDA) sub-contractor Sanitech after its contract to provide the group with toilets expired at the end of March 2021.
