The Amalooloo company, which offered a helping hand to this family, will hand over the toilet this afternoon after doing groundwork on Tuesday. 

Workers from the company prepared the ground on Tuesday for a flushable, disability-friendly pit toilet, amongst others, which is spacious enough for a wheelchair-bound individual.

OFM News previously reported that Amalooloo project manager, Wimpie Strydom, indicated that the toilet would be completed and donated to the family during this week.

The company reacted to a news story written by OFM News on the living conditions of the 58-year-old Mamokete Segalo, her 71-year-old relative, daughter, and four grandchildren who were struggling because of sanitation issues.  

The family had to use an open space nearby for a few months after they were allocated temporary housing near Caleb Motshabi, alongside nine other families following a flood disaster.

Amalooloo, with branches in Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and the neighbouring country of Lesotho, tackles and addresses sanitation issues amongst the vulnerable within society. 

Strydom and the company visited the family last week Friday to assess the situation, which enabled them to develop and hand over a formally constructed, user-friendly pit toilet for the physically challenged, amongst others, by at least Thursday.

OFM News visited Amalooloo in Bloemfontein and was taken through how the plant produces these user-friendly pit toilets. 

The 58-year-old Segalo and her family also struggle without electricity. To make matters worse, one of her grandchildren suffers from epilepsy.
