Hon member, as you mentioned, the conditional grant for libraries is ring-fenced. When we transfer the money to provinces we do it after we have received their business plan and then we monitor its implementation. We are trying to make sure that the money is not used for other purposes.
In some provinces they use municipalities as their implementing agency, but they know that it is a conditional grant. We have agreed that we must make rural areas a priority. We are working with the Department of Basic Education to ensure that schools also have access to community libraries, because there are schools that do not have libraries.
Yes, rural areas are a priority, but we are also establishing libraries in other centres. For instance, next week we will be opening the Steve Biko Centre in Ginsberg in the Eastern Cape, and it will also have a library on its premises. We are using various ways to ensure that there are more libraries. The National Treasury has indicated that we will be getting more money in the coming year again to ensure that we roll out these programmes to be able to reach all areas, particularly the rural areas.
