Hahaha. We have different types of toilets here(South Africa). We have long-drops...normal Flush toilets....Urinals...and even in some places like airports we have those really nasty holes in the ground with a piece of hose attached to a tap that the Muslims use. My favorite is the long drop...A pit between 3/5 meters deep with a steel cover and a fairly normal looking toilet mounted on top...It is called a long-drop for obvious reasons. It is not a flush toilet so chemicals are thrown into the pit to help with the smell and to dissolve the you know what...When the pit is full, it is simply filled up and a new one dug nearby. Unfortunately black people in the rural areas have been know to dispose of unwanted babies in these toilets of which several get found alive every year. This is a sick and VERY sad practice. A year or so ago, an 18 year old girl was busy writing her final exam, she got up, went to the toilet, had a baby which she threw in the pit and went back into the exam hall to finish her paper. Later on someone who went to the toilet heard something inside and alerted the authorities. The baby survived.
