City of Cape Town approves plans for backyard library after 8-month battle
Cape Town – Christmas has come early for South African hero John Nicholson after the City of Cape Town finally approved building plans for his home-made library.
This comes eight months after John was ordered to remove the roof of his garage – which he has converted into a community library – because there were no building plans registered for the structure.
This came as a blow to especially children in the community, as they went to the library after school and during holidays to read and play games, and also to get a meal, for some the only one they’d get that day.
