Going through Cape Town International airport yesterday I again experienced the worst toilets in the southern part of Africa. Last time I was there I went to the departure lounge toilets. The toilet seat was cracked, the walls were greasy, the doors were covered with graffiti, and this in SA's premier tourist attraction. Yesterday was a similar experience. One toilet was permanently out of order: they had even fixed a long term notice onto the door to the effect that this one was out of bounds. Eventually I got into a cubicle to find no bog roll, cracked ceramic tiles, dented doors, and badly fixed pipes. Well so much for a recently revamped airport.
