City of Joburg Speaker, Nonceba Molwele, says the Thabo Mbeki African Presidential Library will contribute to the diversification of the city’s tourism and heritage offerings.
She says the impressive architecture and literature will be a sought-after attraction site.
The library will be the key feature in the city’s new heritage precinct and tourism hub in Riviera, north of Johannesburg.
Molwele says the library will be a place of pride for Africans.
“The #ThaboMbekiPresidentialLibrary will be a Mecca for Africa. A place of pride for Africa. The location of this project has been carefully chosen in Johannesburg , a world class African City”
