Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture

Whether he has found that he erred in respect of the figures contained in his media statement released on 3 August 2020 that out of a total of 5 322 applications that were received in the categories Sport, Digital, as well as Arts, Culture and Heritage 4 602 were recommended and 1 570 were not, in light of the fact that 4 602 plus 1 570 actually equals to 6 892; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

The difference is accounted for on the basis of multiple beneficiaries that were identified during assessment of the Appeals

It is fact is that the numbers of beneficiaries will always be more than that of applications received since some applications are making requests for more than just one individual.
