Gayton McKenzie emphasized the value of honoring people who have made substantial contributions to South Africa’s artistic landscape and has proposed raising the monthly stipend for Living Legends from R15,000 to R50,000.
He made the announcement during a breakfast meeting with the living legends.
The goal of this program is to better recognize and assist notable individuals who have significantly impacted the fields of sports, culture, and the arts.
“We have a plan to raise a maximum of a million rand a year for the legends until you’re passing and a minimum of 600,000 per year. That one is the minimum that I can even guarantee.
“We’re going to work in my team. The people should know this is important to us. The time when legends are paid R14,000 – it’s over.”
“The time when legends get paid little money to perform is over. You have already performed for all the time that you had to perform. You have fought for all the times that you had to fight. That time is over,” said McKenzie.
The Siz The World team asked whether the R50 000 allowance is sustainable. What will happen once a new Minister is installed?
