Lack of maintenance at Emnambithi Cultural Centre?
"One would think that the maintenance of the building would remain a top priority"
Considering that Emnambithi Cultural Centre plays such a significant role in our town’s historical heritage and most importantly used to house Dr Joseph Shabalala’s art pieces, the cleanliness and upkeep of the building seem to be going to rack and ruin.
Grass and reeds are growing rampant all over the property, creating an eyesore.
“I am disgusted with the state of the cultural centre. It is such a disgrace that a cultural and historical place like that could be in such an appalling condition. One would think that the maintenance of the building would remain a top priority,” said concerned Ladysmith resident Doreen Larsen.
According to Ladysmith residents, something needs to be done about this state of affairs, as a way of paying respect to the historical building and just keeping the town looking good as a whole.
When contacted for comment, Alfred Duma Local Municipality stated that the cultural centre does not belong to them but belongs to Transnet, and therefore anything that happens there is entirely Transnet’s responsibility.
