Toilets a disgrace

28 June 2012
E-mail your letter to The Herald

I (UNFORTUNATELY) attended the rugby game between South Africa and England, where some of the spectators behaved so disgracefully by booing one of our players – on more than one occasion.

To add insult to injury, I had to visit the ladies’ toilets twice, and on each occasion, not one of the toilets were in working order; no water available to wash one’s hands after using the toilets!

To me, as a nursing sister, I was absolutely furious to experience these kind of conditions in a brand new stadium.

What must the visitors from overseas think about Port Elizabeth?

Who is responsible to see that these facilities are in a clean and hygienic condition?

Why no water supply during such a big match when the management should know that thousands of people (especially women) would use the toilets.

If at any time in the near future I contract an infection of any kind which can be linked to these dirty toilets, prepare yourself for a civil suit coming your way.

And it is not a threat, it’s a promise.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will never see me again; not even if I get a ticket for free – even then I will simply just give it away.
