Tomorrow, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development, Cllr Nonhlanhla Sifumba will - through the City of Johannesburg’s Library and Information Services - launch a library partnership with the University of South Africa (Unisa).
This collaboration is to ensure that we provide support to Unisa’s 20 000 students within the City of Johannesburg.
Many of our residents, especially in the townships, cannot afford the high costs of full-time study and rely on distance learning institutions such as Unisa. We thus could not turn a blind eye to the needs of such a large constituency of our City.
This partnership will ensure that those in need of a safe, conducive environment to study must not only find our libraries open to their needs, but well capacitated to enable them to complete their assignments and prepare for tests with ease.
Event details are as follows:
Date: Friday, 14 September 2018
Venue: Emdeni Public Library, Soweto
Time: 10:00 - 12:00
All media is invited to attend. There will be interview and photo opportunities.
