To paraphrase the Sunday Times, the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa, fought harder for his R22 million flag project than he ever did for anyone employed in the arts and culture industries. The DA will write to the chairperson of the parliamentary portfolio committee on sports, arts and culture, Beauty Dlualane, to request that Minister Mthethwa urgently accounts for this fallacy, as well as his contemptuous attempt to rename the Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument. He needs to account for his Department’s focus which seems to prioritise vanity projects over the well-being of those who earn a living from the arts and culture sector.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says he gave the Arts and Culture Minister advice over the phone, telling Nathi Mthethwa to cancel the controversial flag project.
