Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Whether, with reference to the policy conference of the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa (CCIFSA) held in KwaZulu-Natal from 11 to 13 December 2020 and from which many national and provincial CCIFSA sector leaders and representatives distanced themselves publicly, he has found that the conference was held in accordance with applicable legislation and/or policy directives and therefore legitimate; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
In our view, the conference was successful and hosted in accordance with applicable legislation based on one of the resolutions taken at an elective conference in Mpumalanga.
It was also attended by at least representatives from eight Provinces with the exception of the Free State Province.
