Dumela residents want answers on library project

By Refilwe Mathebula

Dumela residents in the Collins Chabane Municipality are seeking answers from the department of Sport, Arts and Culture in Limpopo, regarding a library project which they say was meant to be built in their area but was moved to Mulamula village.

Mulamula is situated about 7 kilometres away from Dumela village.

The disgruntled residents who earlier this week embarked on a protest, say they do not understand why the project was moved, because they are the ones who made the request for the library to be built.

A facilitator at the Dumela Development Forum, Dayson Dumela says their application was approved in 2014, while construction started in June this year.

Meanwhile, an investigation by the department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation has found that the Mulamula Traditional Council made the request for a community library but that some members of the Dumela Traditional Council want the construction site to be moved to their area.

The report shows that an amount of about R800 000 has already been spent on consultancy work and that the project will continue as planned.
