Faecal sludge is very different from wastewater; it is dense and highly concentrated, and can disturb the functionality of wastewater treatment plants,” maintains Mathye.

The Shit Flow Diagram (SFD) is another tool has been developed by the WHO. It is a high-level technical diagram used to display how excreta flows through a municipality or city area. It shows graphics on how human excreta generated in an area is safely or not safely managed as it moves through the entire sanitation service chain and functions as a tool to identify where support or improvements are needed.

At the heart of the paradigm shift are effective campaigns and appropriate educational and awareness materials that are being developed by DWS on the safe handling of faecal sludge and dispelling the notion that faecal sludge as a taboo.

“The future of sanitation is exciting, with many economic opportunities. We are a passionate team that is driving this new way of thinking. Sanitation has evolved, and new technical skills are needed to take it forward. It is all about building capacity. We all need to work together to bring dignity to everyone who lives in South Africa,” concludes Mathye.
