To date, a total of R200 235 605.60ย has been disbursed to 1 246 beneficiaries. #TogetherForArts
Exactly a year ago & nothing has changed @NathiMthethwaSA @PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa @nacsouthafrica Iโm so embarrassed for these people!
We are still waiting for our relief fund @NathiMthethwaSA @nacsouthafrica @SportArtsCultur @PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa

Please remind me: why does South Africa have a whole Minister of Sport? Shouldn't we then also have a Minister of Koesisters & Vetkoek?
I received funds 6-months into the Lockdown; 6-months of scraping pennies together only to get these funds & pay over to the Rental Agent! Iโll be paying off the balance for many years to come. These people are heartless!
Replying to @DidiMoses
I received funding during the first round (3 months late). A measly figure. Subsequent rounds have not been paid to me - even though I submitted the same information and documents. Sigh...
Have you paid your bond for the month? Iโm 10-months in arrears with my rent because of no work or financial assistance from your sector. I may be on the street in the next 2-days. If you pay our relief fund, it will pacify the situation. Would you like me to beg?
Any news on the relief fund for individual artists please?

Replying to @DidiMoses @NathiMthethwaSA
(Unrelated side note: canโt believe I am tweeting you! I have been a huge fan of yours for years @DidiMoses. You are a true light in the dance community ๐ซ)
He is in hiding! I would hide too if I was this incompetent! No, actually, Iโd resign, but it must be nice still pulling a salary for doing NOTHING!!!!!
@NathiMthethwaSA Did you reach out to the management team when they announced the closure and retrenchment of the bulk of its staff in July 2020? No you did not.
Yes! And he turns the other way while the doors shut! Devastation!!!!
Honestly no. @NathiMthethwaSA did you know that @TheFugard employed approx. 2000 artists, creatives, set builders, lighting techs, stage managers etc during its 10 years? Did you know that it had a thriving audience development programme that was funded entirely by the founder?
What exactly is this man even saying? Hey @NathiMthethwaSA did you type this? Break this down for us? This sentence makes absolutely no sense! Stop talking kak & let someone who understands the Arts, PLEASE take your seat? You really are clueless! Youโre also a big, fat BULLY!
Observing #HumanRightsMonth2021 is a part of moving forward with efforts of Nation Building and Social Cohesion. We are the title deed holders of the sacrifices of our forebears, so we must continue in their footsteps & never lose focus on the task at hand #HumanRightsMonth2021
And my response remains; why did you need to ask? & again, why donโt you know the answer? And do you have a heart? When someone asks a question they donโt know the answer to, theyโre asking to be educated, which you clearly need, as that is the worst constructed sentence Iv seen
Replying to @DidiMoses
I never asked to be educated. I never called anyone dumb, stupid, uneducated or the scum of the earth. And I most definitely do have a heart. Iโm not beefing with anyone and Iโm not trying to start an argument. Iโm simply asking a question based on what was originally said.
Why do we always have to educate you when weโre apparently the dumb, stupid uneducated scum of the earth? Also, why donโt you know these things? Also, donโt you have a heart?
Replying to @DidiMoses
Sorry for asking questions and wanting to know/understand more of what @rezahsampson was saying. I didnโt know open discussion wasnโt an option. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
I canโt forgive your โpossibleโ ignorance right now @Dean_Friederich because your privilege has blinded you so much to the realities of what is actually going on around you, in your little protected, privileged bubble, that you make me seethe with your blatant ignorance!!!!!!
Replying to @rezahsampson
Forgive my possible ignorance (and assuming white is a reference to the agentโs demographic), but what has a personโs skin colour got to do with the legal protocol of the industry they work in? Iโm confused...
Because he doesnโt know or understand the impact this has had on us @LeePiedt He is clueless in this regard. He thinks only celebrities are artists. #Clueless!!! ๐คฌ
Why is this not happening?? Gosh....@NathiMthethwaSA @SportArtsCultur
Iโd just like to give a huge shoutout to @Rbjacobs for keeping calm, remaining patient with me, & being the consummate gentleman & professional in his job! Thank you for assisting me sir! ๐๐ฝ
Everything is now sorted, all thanks to you! ๐
The way this Country is sucking us dry!!!! I also think that @NathiMthethwaSA & @SportArtsCultur should clear all artistsโ debt for the past year!!!!!!
