In an event organised by the CJ Langehoven Memorial Library in conjunction with Oasis on Friday, 22 March 2013, residents who were in the vicinity of the Oudtshoorn Taxi Rank were caught in a surprise when the Executive Mayor of the greater Oudtshoorn, Aldm Gordon April handed out free bottles of water accompanied by the Speaker Aldm John Stoffels.
More than 200 bottles of water branded with save water message were handed out by library officials to by-passing residents as part of celebrating World Water Day. Some of the messages contained and spread on the day include: “Drink, save and preserve water”, “Water is life, let every drop counts” and “Fix leaking taps today”.
