Iโ€™ve received NOTHING!!!!!!
Update: Over R200 million has now been disbursed in the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme administered by the the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture agency @NACSouthAfrica 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 Iโ€™m so embarrassed for these people!

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! Iโ€™ll 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? Iโ€™m 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?
As the Minister ultimately responsible, I firstly want to issue an unconditional apology for the task I entrusted with the NAC. You can rest assured that the much-needed stimulus for the sector will continue to be disbursed & we'll hold those who over-committed funds accountable.

Any news on the relief fund for individual artists please?

He is in hiding! I would hide too if I was this incompetent! No, actually, Iโ€™d 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.
1
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! Youโ€™re 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 donโ€™t you know the answer? And do you have a heart? When someone asks a question they donโ€™t know the answer to, theyโ€™re 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. Iโ€™m not beefing with anyone and Iโ€™m not trying to start an argument. Iโ€™m simply asking a question based on what was originally said.

Why do we always have to educate you when weโ€™re apparently the dumb, stupid uneducated scum of the earth? Also, why donโ€™t you know these things? Also, donโ€™t you have a heart?
Replying to @DidiMoses
Sorry for asking questions and wanting to know/understand more of what @rezahsampson was saying. I didnโ€™t know open discussion wasnโ€™t an option. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I canโ€™t forgive your โ€˜possibleโ€™ 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 agentโ€™s demographic), but what has a personโ€™s skin colour got to do with the legal protocol of the industry they work in? Iโ€™m confused...

Because he doesnโ€™t know or understand the impact this has had on us @LeePiedt He is clueless in this regard. He thinks only celebrities are artists. #Clueless!!! ๐Ÿคฌ

Iโ€™d 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! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ Everything is now sorted, all thanks to you! ๐Ÿ†

The way this Country is sucking us dry!!!! I also think that @NathiMthethwaSA & @SportArtsCultur should clear all artistsโ€™ debt for the past year!!!!!!
Loadshedding completely stops my ability to earn money. Can we get a tax rebate for time logged as loadshedding?
