In a video titled ‘Nelson Mandela Bay metro on a mission to eradicate bucket toilets’ published on 3 June 2017, the SABC Digital News says; “With a new administration, comes new promises. The Nelson Mandela Bay metro has allocated 80 million rand to eradicate the 20-thousand bucket toilets still in use in the metropole by the end of 2017. Over the years, the municipality has set targets which were not met, prompting service delivery protests in townships like Walmer and Missionvale.”
