ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The state of South African infrastructures is in decline, yet the degree of decline is neither well quantified nor well understo od. Specific to the infra structura l field of sanitation in South Africa, a framework of data analysis and uncertainty analysis was developed in order that logical arguments could be deduced. Due to South African specific conditions which have radically altered the social and infrastructural systems of the country, a holistic coverage of this topic does not exist in literature. Through presentation and analysis of macro-patterns of decay in the nation’s most efficacious sanitation system (Cape Town), coupled with a technical analysis of a key macro-pattern (mechanics of sedimentation) a concise argument is presented in an attempt to define an otherwise indistinct problem. This argument was formulated through case study analyses in combination with an exhaustive uncertainty analysis of the theory of the mechanics of sedimentation. Through the application of Systems Thinking and Theory as well as complex analytics, this research posits that sanitation systems in South Africa are experiencing heavy duress and are likely failing to deliver requisite efficacy.
