The Library and Information Management System (SLIMS) has been unavailable since 15 November 2022 due to a system failure. As a result, libraries in the George Municipal area are having problems with the issue and return of books. The issue of cards, bus tours, interlibrary loans, as well as the purchasing and distribution of new books are all services that are affected.

All libraries in George, however, remain open to the public as access to information is a basic human right. All internet and WI-FI facilities and in-house use of libraries remain open and available to the public.

SLIMS is the computerised database operating system for public libraries. The system is owned, hosted, and maintained by SITA. SITA gave the assurance that this matter is receiving the highest priority and attention. We will keep the public updated and informed of the progress.

This is beyond the control of the George Municipality, and we request the public be patient until the matter is resolved.

Issued George Mun, 24 November

Update on low water pressure and possible water outages: Portions of Borchards, Lawaaikamp and Parkdene are currently experiencing low water pressures and in some instances no water due to a high volume of water that was lost yesterday after a private fibre contractor damaged two main lines. On top of the water loss, the water demand is considerably high today, due to the hot weather. Our engineers foresee that the water supply will only stabilise later this evening when the demand is lower. All properties in Lawaaikamp should have water but will experience low pressures. Three water trucks were deployed to roam the Lawaaikamp area. We ask the public to be patient and use water sparingly and phone any water problems through to 044 801 9262/6 (7h45-16h30) or after hours 044 801 6300. Please do not post individual complaints on social media as our social media is not a formal complaints channel and is not manned 24/7. Issued by George Mun 23 November 2022 at 14h30.
