Development through arts, culture and tourism. Masithuthuke ngobuciko, amasiko nezokuvakasha OVERVIEW OF THE UNFUNDED MANDATE  Public Libraries are an “exclusive provincial legislative competence” [SA Constitution 1996].  Provinces must therefore “assign” the function of administering libraries, with the necessary funding, to local government and/or render the service themselves directly to the public.

Development through arts, culture and tourism. Masithuthuke ngobuciko, amasiko nezokuvakasha IMPLICATION Either way, the Provinces are legally responsible for funding what local municipalities are already funding that is….. THE FULL COSTS OF ADMINISTERING SERVICES DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC. Staffing – operational costs – maintenance of buildings

Development through arts, culture and tourism. Masithuthuke ngobuciko, amasiko nezokuvakasha STATUS QUO  Local municipalities in KZN spend over R200m per annum on this part of the service. This includes staffing costs of over 1500 library personnel at 216 libraries.

Development through arts, culture and tourism. Masithuthuke ngobuciko, amasiko nezokuvakasha CHALLENGES  Local municipality spending on public libraries is “irregular expenditure” in terms of the MFMA.  Libraries are non-profit making institutions.  Municipalities have scarce funding.  Staffing levels in libraries and maintenance of assets are deteriorating.  The Province is in a weakened position to impose standards and set guidelines for improving services.

Development through arts, culture and tourism. Masithuthuke ngobuciko, amasiko nezokuvakasha Challenges continued..  The conditional grant does not address this mandate.  For true transformation to take place – with respect to standardisation of services, staffing levels and opening hours funding needs to be sourced to address this serious issue which will determine the future of libraries in South Africa.
