Question NW1776 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
18 May 2022 - NW1776
Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Whether, in light of the fact that the Silapha Wellness Intervention Programme hosted four social media interventions, which according to their report not a single intervention reached more than 150 persons, his department has considered that the programme has a low success threshold in social media interventions and a particularly low outreach to the arts sector?
Reply:
The hosted 4 social media interventions on spaces; in November and December 2021; were over and above other social media activities that help to drive traffic to the call centre during Covid-19 pandemic Lockdown. See below table on numbers as of end of April 2022:
