Sure, let's compile the reference list entry for the article entitled "Teachers' Use of a School Library in a South African Township School: Closing the Literacy Gap" by Nicoline Wessels and Nampombe Mnkeni-Saurombe, published in the South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science in 2012.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Authors: Start with the names of the authors. The SANTS-Harvard style usually lists the last name followed by the initials. Separate multiple authors with a comma and use an ampersand (&) before the last author.
- Nicoline Wessels and Nampombe Mnkeni-Saurombe
- Wessels, N. & Mnkeni-Saurombe, N.

2. Year of Publication: Place the year of publication in parentheses right after the authors' names.
- (2012)

3. Title of the Article: Provide the title of the article in sentence case—only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. This is followed by a period.
- Teachers' Use of a School Library in a South African Township School: Closing the Literacy Gap.

4. Title of the Journal: The journal's title should be italicized and in title case—capitalize most words.
- South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science

5. Volume and Issue Number: In this case, the volume and issue number are not provided, so we omit this information.

6. Pages: Since the pages are also not provided, we omit this as well.

Here is the compiled reference in the SANTS-Harvard style:

Wessels, N. & Mnkeni-Saurombe, N. (2012) Teachers' Use of a School Library in a South African Township School: Closing the Literacy Gap. South African Journal of Libraries and Information Science.

This reference follows the SANTS-Harvard referencing method, ensuring the proper order and punctuation are observed.
