02 November 2018 - NW3099
Steenhuisen, Mr JH to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture
1. On what date did his department last conduct an audit of art work owned by Government; 2. whether any art works owned by the Government have gone missing (a) in each of the last five financial years and (b) since 1 April 2018; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The art works owned by Government are not under my Department, but under the National Department of Public Works. Each Government Department is however, responsible for the art work in its possession, and the said art work must be recorded according to GRAP 103, as heritage assets.
My department performed audit on all assets in its possession, including Art works during asset verification in May 2018.
- No art work owned by my Department has gone missing in each of the last five years and since 1 April 2018.
