Question NW2952 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
18 October 2023 - NW2952
Mthethwa, Mr E to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
What (a) are the findings of the Presidential Task Team of Deputy Ministers research, which was initiated by former president Jacob Zuma in 2009, to investigate how the government could create a conducive environment for the creative and cultural sector to organize itself and (b) what was the total cost of the specified exercise?
Reply:
This was an initiative from the Presidency which included a number of Deputy Ministers, and my department was invited together with various other Departments. Therefore, the outcomes of the Presidential Task Team and the overall expenditure were not absorbed by the Department, and I will suggest that we follow this matter with the Office of the Presidency.
THANK YOU
