Question NW2029 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
15 June 2023 - NW2029
Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Whether he will furnish Mrs V van Dyk with fully audited financial statements of the (a)(i) Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra and (ii) KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra for the past five financial years and (b) Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra that was recently established; if not; why not; if so, on what date
Reply:
(a). The National Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) does not administer provincial and city orchestras; these orchestras do not report to DSAC and do not fall within the ambit of DSAC. Therefore, DSAC is not able to answer questions regarding operational matters of provincial and city orchestras, including submitting any financial statements of these provincial and city orchestras.
(b). DSAC will provide the MNPO’s audited Annual Financial Statements (AFS) on or before 30 June 2023.
