Shortly after that, the toilets started getting clogged up with rocks wrapped in toilet paper.
Kohbar Towers in SA was built for the Bedoins but they refused to live there. Beautiful multi level buildings with hardwood floors. Left vacant until it was offered to billet the US military during the first Gulf War. Toilet plumbing wouldn’t accept t.p. So used T.p. Was placed in trash bags. Yes over there the locals did use their left hands and a water rinse to clean their bums
