31 July 2007
The Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Rejoice
Mabudafhasi will officially open the Environmental Resource Centre located at
Cape Peninsula University of Technology on Thursday, 02 August 2007.
This significant event coincides with the Global Environment Facility's
Fourth Biennial International Waters Conference, which sees over 350 delegates
from 135 countries sharing information and exchanging experiences relating to
transboundary environmental concerns.
Situated in the New Library Extension on the Bellville Campus, the centre is
geared towards information and knowledge generation. It is envisaged that the
centre will bridge the gap between communities, institutions of learning and
government by providing a forum for discussion and dissemination of
information.

address the opening event on the state of coastal areas and marine resources,
while Global Environment Facility (GEF) senior advisor, Alfred Duda will
