CAPE Town mayor Patricia de Lille has welcomed indications that an agreement had been reached on the model of enclosure for the toilets in Makhaza on the Cape Flats.

The model was offered by the city in compliance with a Cape high court ruling.

"This administration has committed itself to enclosing the Makhaza toilets with concrete," De Lille said.

"I'm pleased that we now have the necessary agreement to allow us to proceed with the enclosures

"I hope that this will also go a long way to repairing the relationship between the city and the people of Makhaza."

Officials were already on the ground to start the construction of the toilet enclosures.
