Although the province faces considerable delivery challenges, these are relatively small when seen in the national context. Access to RDP-level water is the norm in the GCR, although sanitation and refuse removal remain challenging. Among respondents, 1.5% lacked sanitation below the level of a chemical toilet, with the worst being in Midvaal (5.1%) and Nokeng (3%). In all 9%, respondents lacked refuse removal. Nine in ten respondents had access to electricity for lighting. It is worth noting that of those who get water, 9.8% complain that it is ‘hardly ever’ or ‘never’ clean, indicating that maintenance of infrastructure is a challenge for Gauteng, as elsewhere.
