Mr Hendricks thanked the Committee for the opportunity to present and welcomed questions by the Committee. Members wanted to know if the South African Library for the Blind had approached the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for funding; what the timeframe for the filling of the 12 vacant posts were; if the Library for the Blind was also producing Braille in the indigenous languages of South Africa and if the Library for the Blind had internship programmes.
