Description: The councillor promised her ward an end to the humiliation of the buck-et system and the building of suitable sanitation facilities. It's why she voted for him. And while it has taken four years, today the building ma-terial for 40 toilets, one of which will be hers, has arrived. Of course, Eunice cannot be certain all 40 toilets will be built to the planned speci-fications and timeline; that's why she's monitoring the municipality's service delivery. Eunice has her phone ready and is counting the bricks and bags of cement that will become toilets for her street under her watchful eye and with the help of a mobile application, MobiSAM, and a local newspaper.
