These included a delay in awarding a modular libraries tender which was only awarded in February 2013. The delivery of modular material began in May 2013. The ECDoSAC also reported that some projects were cancelled by COEGA Development Corporation, an implementing agent, due to non- performance by the contractors. The ECDoSAC further reported that non-registration of service providers in the provincial database contributed to late issuing of orders to service providers. The ECDoSAC added that some contractors were slow to implement projects due to cash-flow challenges. The construction of four new libraries was delayed due to the issue of land allocation and municipality council resolutions. The contractor of the Mdantsane Library was liquidated and a rescue contractor had to be appointed to finalise the project. The ECDoSAC further reported that the appointment of 48 librarians was delayed due to slow recruitment processes. However 90 per cent of them were appointed with effect from March 2013. The ECDoSAC added that they did not pay SITA for SLIMS due to the non-submission of all invoices.
