The purpose of this program was to assist the creative industry during the shutdown. The department released the list as part of a larger initiative to guarantee accountability and openness in its funding procedures.
Since taking office earlier this week, Minister Gayton McKenzie has already created a stir with his new vision for sports in the nation, most notably his declaration that he wants to make spinning the largest sport in the country, that he is canceling funding to ‘super fans’ and that he plans to lose weight.
Minister Gayton McKenzie stated on Wednesday that he would root out corruption in the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture.
We have majority good people working @SportArtsCultur , we have a corrupt few mafias but we also have those that got intimidated by those creatives who invoke the names of politicians to demand funding. I will fire the corrupt ones and protect the good ones, we will make SA proud https://t.co/Sm8u2p6bYt
