MBOMBELA – What started in a small room in the remote town of Perdekop over five decades ago has now evolved into a state-of-the art library thanks to the leadership of Culture, Sport and Recreation MEC, Ms Sibongile Manana.
Perdekop Public Library was built in 2013 and will officially open on 14 February 2014. This is in accordance with one of Mpumalanga Provincial Government’s main priorities, which is to promote knowledge through educating the masses and affording them properties such as Libraries to curb illiteracy.
The Library, which only signed up its first black member in 1994, is now open to all members of Perdekop and surrounding communities. Those using the Library will have access to a computer and study room as well as a junior section where the little ones can enjoy themselves whilst learning more about the world around them.
The programme of the day includes a keynote address by MEC Manana and entertainment by Vukuzenzele Combined School as well as a host of other local cultural groups.
The media is invited and the event is scheduled as follows:
Date : Friday, 14 February 2014
Venues : Perdekop Public Library- Dr Pixley Ka Isaka Seme Local Municipality
Time : 13:30
Enquiries: Ms Sibongile Nkosi on 082 492 4886.
