The toilet Julius Malema posed next to during a pre-election damage-control blitz in the Free State town of Viljoenskroon is still not fully enclosed.

Malema, Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula, senior party member Tony Yengeni and Free State Premier Ace Magashule went to the township of Rammolotsi in the wake of the ANC's own open-toilet saga, promising to enclose them.

The ANC entourage gave themselves a two-month deadline on May 10 to have all the toilets enclosed.

But the toilet outside the home of wheelchair-bound Kleinbooi Ndezi, 60, has no roof or ramp for him to access it, which the leaders promised him.

Ndezi was the first resident of the Moqhaka Municipality to be promised a proper toilet.

Some toilets in the area were enclosed the same day the leaders visited.

Yesterday, Ndezi said: "I have not been able to use it. The toilet is not complete."

Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town's plans to enclose the controversial open toilets in Makhaza, Khayelitsha, were met with new demands from the community.

Mayor Patricia de Lille ordered city officials to enclose the toilets with concrete structures as spelt out in a recent High Court ruling.

The city is also trying to mend relations with the community, which overwhelmingly voted for the ANC in the local government elections.

Yesterday afternoon, city officials, who in the past were met with hostility, met about 50 families in the area and informed them of their plans.

The residents welcomed them, but demanded that De Lille come and apologise and that those who were arrested when they clashed with police during protests be compensated.

They also demanded that the contractor who will build the toilet enclosures employ locals.

One of the residents, Chumile Sali, 28, said they would bring a lawsuit against the city for the residents' wrongful arrest.

"We demand an apology from the mayor. We do appreciate the steps she has taken to implement the court's decision," said Sali.

The residents approached the Cape Town High Court to force the DA-controlled city to enclose the toilets with concrete after it tore down the zinc structures. This followed a finding by the SA Human Rights Commission that the city had violated the residents' rights.

In April, Judge Nathan Erasmus ordered the city to enclose all the toilets.

Andile Lili, an ANC Youth League leader in the area, who was blamed by the DA for frustrating the city's efforts to cover the toilets, is now a councillor and supported the residents' demands for compensation.

"I feel that there is a need for compensation for those who were tear gassed and arrested for fighting for their rights," he said.

Of the open toilets in Moqhaka, Lili said: "Open toilets are wrong, regardless of who built them."

De Lille's spokesman, Solly Malatsi, said: "The mayor is on record saying that the incident in Makhaza shouldn't have happened in the first place. Premier Helen Zille also apologised to the national parliament."
