Robin Carlisle, the Transport and Public Works Minister in the Western Cape will cut the ribbon this afternoon at the SACLA Centre in Khayelitsha, unveiling a facility that has undergone ‘an extreme makeover’ over the past 8 months.
On Nelson Mandela International Day last year US actor Morgan Freeman and a group of celebrity bikers joined Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and Cape Town Mayor (at the time) Dan Plato to begin erecting a security fence around the facility. The fence is now complete.
The lights will be switched on as the Minister cuts the ribbon and a short movie will be screened on how the building has been revamped from ruins.
Members of the media are invited to attend.
