Following the announcement of a relief fund by minister of sports, arts & culture Nathi Mthethwa, there has been a concern that the music federation chosen is incapable of doing the job.

Mthethwa explained in a statement: “To benefit from the compensation, the beneficiaries will have to submit a claim that does not deviate from the original MOA and provide supporting documents such as contracts and valid invoices to the department. The DSAC reserves the right to determine a flat rate fee for all such beneficiaries.”

The department further explained that for cancelled non-DSAC funded projects, the list of 25 productions and 15 live events have already been submitted by national industry organisations and will be compensated. “To benefit from compensation, producers and organisers are required to submit a spreadsheet of the costs that were due to be incurred from March - June with proof of existing contracts and relevant documentation. A second spreadsheet of the full details of practitioners and committed costs will also be required. The department reserves the right to determine the compensation to be made.”

He added: “The above relief support of the department of sport, arts & culture is guided by schedule 5 of the constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Therefore, projects and events that are not considered to have an impact at a national level, involving artists and practitioners from various provinces, would have to approach their respective provinces.”
