  • Notes
  • R710 000 has been committed for the procurement
    of library materials
  • The business plan was drafted to such that Q1
    would used to finalize contracts and issue orders
    and that delivery of equipment such as computers,
    photocopiers, security systems would then take
    place in Q2 and Q3.
  • The cash flow projection for the business plan
    thus provided for 13 of the grant to be spent
    by end of June, but this was not achieved due to
    the following challenges
  • 3 year contracts were processed for ICT
    resources, photocopiers, and library materials
    but put on hold due to a higher decision that, as
    an interim measure, one-year contracts must be
    arranged.
