Update
GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - Good news is that the Dr Beyers Naudé Local Municipality was assured this morning, Tuesday, 5 February, by the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture that the outstanding R2.3 million due for the municipal libraries was deposited yesterday, although it has not yet reflected in the account.
After the anger expressed last week at the decision to close the municipality’s 12 libraries due to this non-payment, residents were greatly relieved to find that the Graaff-Reinet libraries have been open as normal.
Aberdeen’s library was closed on Monday, but is open again.
- There will be a full report on the ongoing situation in this Thursday’s edition of the Graaff-Reinet Advertiser – don’t miss it!
