Legal costs are annually budgeted, however, it is difficult to make precise determination in budgeting for legal costs, as a result, periodically, the legal costs budget is adjusted informed by case at hand. This is in line with Audit requirements that prescribe adequate contingency provisioning for legal costs and in line with National Treasury Regulations that allow Goods and Services budget adjustments.

Reply:
- Yes, Government is in support of possible return of Formula 1 to South Africa.
- The Department has not conducted any research and/or work with any Departments nor the private sector to measure the interest and identify the economic impact especially market branding for the Republic. The Department is the custodian of the Bidding and Hosting of International Sport and Recreational Events Regulations. The Regulations sets out the minimum requirement and procedures to be met and followed by any individual and or organization intending to Bid to Host an international event. It is therefore incumbent upon a Federation, in this case Motor Sport South Africa and its partners to ensure that necessary research, economic impact assessment and financial / cost implications are done in preparation for submission of their application to bid
- The Kyalami circuit is privately owned and as such the Department does not have access to information on how long is it anticipated it would take to upgrade the Kyalami circuit to Formula 1 status.
- The Department is not aware whether any financial guarantees would be needed from Government. This is because the Department has not received any application Bid for Formula 1 as prescribed by the Bidding and Hosting of International Sport and Recreational Events Regulations.

Luthuli, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1). what steps have been taken by the department towards implementing equal pay in sports in order to address the gender pay gap; (2). what (a) is the total amount in rand of grants paid out by the National Heritage Council as at the latest specified date for which information is available and (b) are the relevant details for each province?
Reply:
(1). The gender pay gap between male and female professional athletes is a challenge that requires all role players within the Sport and Recreation fraternity to actively address. The Department has adopted a 2-pronged approach in addressing this challenge. Namely, policy reform and secondly targeted programmatic interventions.
In terms of policy intervention, the Department is in the process of formulating a Women in Sport Policy. The key aim of the policy is to ensure equality within the Sport and Recreation sector across the various spheres of the industry, e.g. administration, coaching, remuneration, participation opportunities, etc. The above-mentioned policy is currently at consultation phase and the Department has recently concluded consultations with National Federations.
In terms of targeted programmatic interventions, the Department is of the view that professionalisation of Women’s Sport is key in addressing gender pay gap. To this end the Department with limited financial resources has been primarily providing support to Cricket SA, South African Football Association, Netball SA and South African Rugby for the implementation of Women’s programmes with the ultimate aim of establishing professional leagues. The success of these kind of initiatives is dependent on the corporate investment in Women Sport.
The Private Sector (Corporate) is mainly driven by commercial interest hence it is imperative that commercially attractive and bankable products are developed.
The best cases in point is Women’s National Teams players and technical personnel in Cricket, Rugby and Netball are now contracted on a full time basis and paid salaries. This is the first step towards the professionalization of Women’s Sport which lays a foundation for the realization of pay parity in our sport.

INKOSI B N LUTHULI (IFP) TO ASK THE MINISTER OF SPORT, ARTS AND CULTURE

NO3306E
REPLY
- It is not true that there was some form of lack of transparency in the process of establishing the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra. As indicated before, a team of experts from the very same sector was appointed for the purpose of the conceptualisation of the company. Based on the concept document, a proposal was then developed and submitted to the National Arts Council of South Africa for funding. Based on the contract between the NAC and the National Orchestra, a total amount of R51 946 570 which constitutes funds that were reserved or ringfenced for a period of over three- financial years; 2019/2020, 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 financial years – has been allocated
.These are funds that were earmarked for development of orchestras.
Note that eighty percent of the above total amount which is R41 557 256 has already been transferred as grant to the National Orchestra and R10 389 314 is to be transferred after the submission of reports. As per the contract. seventy-five per cent should be spent on programming while the balance on the administration. In line with the concept document, the National orchestra should ensure that these resources are allocated appropriately for national and international tours, skills development and for supporting the development of orchestral activities mainly to benefit the previously disadvantaged provinces.
In as far as the reporting or accounting of the monies is concerned, there are serious contractual obligations which should be adhered to, and this include the submission of detailed financial expenditures with audited financial statements signed by a registered accounting firm. Any money that has not been utilised by 2023/2024 financial year would have to be returned back to the NAC.

(1) How is his department working with creative artists and traditional authorities to promote arts and culture that plays a critical role in moulding a society’s values, principles, diverse identities and cultures, as part of nation building;
(2) Whether his department is creating art centres for children to be involved in arts, if not, why not; if so what are the relevant details? NO3247
REPLY:
- The Department continues to play its role as the custodian of the government’s programme of action on social cohesion and nation building, with regular progress reports to Cabinet, and reports are also published and made available in the public domain for scrutiny. As part of ensuring that all sectors have a role to play and that there is a firm commitment about this, we are now finalising the letter and spirit of the social compact for social cohesion and nation building. Engagements are still in progress at NEDLAC on this and we expect to have reached sufficient consensus on this compact before the end of this current financial year.
- As the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, we support the establishment of community arts centres; however, the co-operation of all spheres of government is critical. This is in line with the Revised White Paper on Arts and Culture 2020 which states that ‘all three spheres of government to cooperate in providing facilities and resources for the development of arts, culture and heritage at community level with a recognition that each tier of government has different competencies in relation to community arts.
The Department has adopted a strategy for the development of Community Arts Centres called Provincial Community Arts Development Programmes, which is a programme that supports provinces to develop and implement their own community arts development programmes to position and organize the community arts sector to support the overarching government objectives of access and participation in the arts by all South Africans, including school going and out of school children. Children arts programmes across all genres are offered in all community arts centres but we do not have centres that cater only for the children.

- Whether he has found that this project is more important than addressing the plight of artists in the country; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details? N03278LE

- Where did the public participation meetings take place before the recent establishment of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra;
Whether he will furnish Mrs V van Dyk with a copy of the list of all the individuals that participated in the specified public meetings. NO3306E
REPLY
- The idea for the establishment of the national orchestra is not something that was internally created by the Department, but was raised during the public hearings process of the Revised White Paper on Arts, Culture and Heritage. This idea is part of the approved Revised White Paper which the Department had to implement. Chapter 4.1 of the Revised White Paper provisions are made for, inter alia, the establishment of ‘Orchestral companies with youth components each resident in a different province cross-subsidised by national, provincial and metro funding. National companies must be developed so that their artistic reputations for excellence contribute to the advancement of cultural tourism in the cities in which they are located. National companies must be subsidised to embark on a touring circuit’. South Africa has always entrenched good public policy-making practices, this by setting out clear principles for effective policy development and implementation. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa stipulates that people’s needs must be responded to, and that the public must be encouraged to participate in policymaking process. All the processes were adhered to before the Revised Paper was approved. When implementing the recommendation of the Revised White Paper, the Department appointed a team of experts from the sector who assisted in the conceptualisation.
- It is practically impossible to submit all the names of those who participated in the Revised White Paper process at this stage. However, I can confirm that the following participated as part of the team of experts for the conceptualisation of the orchestra; Mr Louis Heinemann (CEO of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra), Mr Kutlwano Masote (Independent Educator and Conductor), Mr Lindumuzi Mngoma (Independent Educator and Conductor), Mr Bongani Tembe (CEO of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra), Mr Shadrack Bokaba (former Acting CEO NFVF), Ms Julie Diphofa (former Acting CEO NAC), and Ms Lindi Ngcobo (Project Manager: NAC). All meetings by the team of experts were held at the National Arts Council (NAC) offices in Johannesburg.

NW2787E
Reply:
- Cabinet’s decision to erect a monumental flag and the review of the project as proposed will be referred to Cabinet for further discussion and final decision; this is in the light of the fact that one of the key mandates of the department is to promote nation-building and social cohesion. National symbols, especially the national flag, expresses the country’s common identity, which is pivotal to building a common national identity and advancing unity.
- The budget of R22 million that was allocated for the monumental flag project over two financial years is within the infrastructure unit of the Department. The Infrastructure Unit is responsible for implementing various infrastructure projects. There is therefore no need for a public participation process to guide the Infrastructure Unit of the Department on the re-allocation of funds to various projects.

Schreiber, Dr LA to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1).Whether his department is currently engaged in a process to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument located in Paarl, Western Cape; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, on what legal basis is he relying to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument, given the fact that the entire purpose of the monument is to celebrate the diverse influences from Africa and across the globe that shaped the indigenous African language; (2). whether the process means that his department has effectively banned the existence of any monument that celebrates any of the indigenous languages of the Republic or is it only the Afrikaans language that is prohibited from having such a monument; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the details of any public participation process around the proposal to remove Afrikaans from the Afrikaans Language Monument?

With reference to his announcement of the R7 million relief funding for Liliesleaf Trust, of which the staff are effectively in the dark as to whether the funds have been released, and since the announcement of the Trustees of the Liliesleaf Trust, neither he nor the Administrator who has been appointed by the Trustees has convened a meeting with the staff to discuss the relief funding and when they can expect to get paid, what are the reasons that there has been no action on the part of the Trustees to engage with the Liliesleaf staff; 2. whether the funds have been released; if not, (a) why not and (b) on what date is it envisaged that the funds will be released; if so, (i) on what date were the funds released and (ii) into which account were the funds paid. 3. whether it will be yet another month the Liliesleaf staff have gone without being paid, given the specified situation and the fact they have not been paid yet again while it can be reasonably assumed that he would have ensured that the funds would have been released as a matter of priority; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The Liliesleaf staff have been kept abreast by the Trustees on measures that have been undertaken by the Trustees regarding the stabilisation and the re-organisation of the Liliesleaf Museum. The Liliesleaf Board met with the staff on 19 April 2022, where the staff was informed that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has been granted R7 million to re-establish the museum. The staff was also informed that they will be paid 3 months salaries from April 2022. The Department can confirm that staff has been paid their 3 months salaries as agreed with the staff on the 19th of April 2022.

Herron, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Whether he was advised by the SA Geographical Names Council to rename the Afrikaans Language Monument in Paarl; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) what are the reasons that were provided to him regarding the proposed renaming, (b) what processes have commenced in respect of the proposed renaming and (c) by what date does he expect to consult with the public and stakeholders in this regard?
Reply:
No such policy has been made by the Department or the Ministry to remove Afrikaans from the name of the Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en monument. So there will be no name change on the atm. We have charged our entities to ensure that as part of the language development, the entity should take on board at least one indigenous language.

Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1)With reference to his reply to question 819 on 31 March 2022, (a) who gave his department the mandate to fight litigation and (b) on whose behalf was his department meant to fight the matter; (2) whether the litigation was budgeted for; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, from which budget item did the money come?
Reply:
As articulated in responses to question 818 and 819, the status quo remains.
15 June 2022 - NW2193
Mhlongo, Mr TW to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
(1).Whether, with reference to his reply to question 2409 on 25 November 2021, he has given the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa (CCIFSA) any deadline and/or time frame to provide the information; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details; 2). whether he will furnish Mr T W Mhlongo with copies of correspondence and/or communication between him and CCIFSA regarding the requested information; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
CCIFSA have since responded as follows:
(a). Yes, board members are getting paid a salary of R30 000 per month. With regards to CCIFSA boards allowances, the organisation conducted research on how other confederations like SASCOC and other institution operates, and the board fees are therefore in line with the industry standards.
(b). CCIFSA is a democratic organisation that accommodates all races, as a result there are members of colour in the organisation; however, the Executive do not have any control on the outcomes of conferences as this was done through an open democratic process. However, the current leadership has already reached out to organisations like TUMSA, SACIA and Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA). The first two organisations are currently associates of the organisation with the purpose of winning their confidence to be fully members of the organisation; and engagements are going on with VANSA with the purpose of finding each other and working together, no formal relationship has been finalized between the two organisations yet.
As the current leadership, we are unable to respond to whether CCIFSA is not representing the creatives. We believe that CCIFSA has played significant role in organising the sector. CCIFSA has managed to create a platform where national organisations are able to engage and discuss challenges of the sector and find ways of resolving them.
(c). The organisation plans to hold an AGM in the next financial year as it needs budget for that, the current budget can only cover administration, and few identified critical programmes. The organisation is doing everything in its power to source more funds including applying to National Lottery to raise more funds to push the work of the federation.
