Survey indicates sanitation in Windhoek's informal areas a long-standing crisis

A new survey indicates that people in informal areas in Windhoek alone dump an average of 40 tonnes of human waste on a daily basis due to a lack of toilets. The data collection, which is funded by the European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN) child agency, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), says for an upper-middle-income country such as Namibia, sanitation is a crisis and statistics are comparable to those of war-torn countries such as Somalia, South Sudan and Eritrea.
