POLOKWANE – Swimmers in the Nirvana and Westenburg area will have to wait another year for the reopening of the area’s swimming pool.
Budding swimmers are unable to access the area due to its dilapidated state. The pool was closed for five years due to pumps which were not functioning and the pool is still closed for public use.
