Mashatile says, “We are cognisant of the impact that COVID-19 has had on people’s livelihood. Some of the interventions that we have been making include the following: a temporary relief scheme, the R350 social relief grant, benefiting nearly 10 million unemployed people. The Presidential employment stimulus has benefitted over 1.2 million people, especially women and youth.”
“I believe that arts and culture have an important role to play in the social transformation agenda of our country. We must remember that this sector played a key role in the anti-apartheid struggle, uniting us under a shared course and globally rallying support for the end of an oppressive system anchored in the philosophies of racial segregation,” he adds.
