Tomorrow, 6 September 2014, Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, will be delivering the keynote address at the closing ceremony of National Book Week.
The National Book Week initiative which is in its fifth year running, started off on Monday 1st of September and will conclude on Sunday, 7th of September.
This year, National Book Week Official Events took place in six provinces in order to allow local/provincial governments to host a number of events and to promote the culture of reading in their various communities.
In addition, the new and exciting Book Bus Tour that was launched in Gauteng at the beginning of this week will conclude its journey tomorrow. The tour bus featured National Book Week ambassadors, motivational speakers, authors and storytellers who all made their contribution at the different events in the various provinces.
We encourage members of communities in the province and members of the media to attend this event.
