Funding problems hurt BCM's ability to operate libraries
For four years, libraries in Buffalo City have been operating at a R25m annual deficit due to underfunding by the department of sport, recreation, arts & culture and on August 25, BCM council approved a motion to ask DSRAC for R45m per annum to address this. The motion includes the political intervention of the BCM executive mayor and that an increase in funding must also come with an annual escalation clause.
