Historical building left in the dark─── TSHEHLA KOTELI 13:21 Fri, 27 May 2022
The National Afrikaans Literary Museum and Research Centre (NALN) in Bloemfontein has been left without electricity for days.
The Public Service Association in the Free State’s Lynsie Pelser says NALN has had no electricity for more than a week.
Pelser also stated it seems there is no rush in turning the lights back on.
Both the Free State Departments of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, and Public Works and Infrastructure have stated they are in no position to provide comment on the issue.
It is at the moment unclear if the Museum is in debt with the Mangaung Metro Municipality's power utility, Centlec.

OFM News previously reported that Centlec will again attempt to disconnect the power supply of customers that have defaulted on paying for their services.
The first journey ended in an agreement between them and the Provincial Government – which detailed the government will pay R90 million monthly with the aim to settle their debt that was in excess of R200 million at the time.
