Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Arts and Culture
How many (a) persons employed at cultural organisations were assessed against the Child Protection Register in the (i) 2014, (ii) 15, (iii) 16 and (iv) 2017 calendar years and (b) of the specified persons were found not suitable to work with children in each case ?
Reply:
We do fund legitimate and credible cultural organisations, these are Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO’s). Because they are independent from government we are not involved in their employment process.
