“It is unfortunate that the voices of the artists that have benefited from the department now known as 'Sports, Arts and Culture' cannot present when criticism of 'lack of support' is levelled against the department and Minister Mthethwa as its head.”

Here are some of the reactions:

Wow. What a heartless response. It would be nice to know what the dept has done lately, in light of these disgruntlements. Nicer would be to know what implementations will be put in place to avoid this vicious cycle. Would it be too much for the minister not write in 3rd person?What on earth is this? Did everyone really wait this long for these empty words? I am so disappointed on behalf of all the Arts people.

Nkareng Matshe got it all wrong on his piece on showboating in the PSLWe have a major problem with crowd attendance or lack thereof at our PSL matches, and lack of identifiable football is also the main cause. Theres always a complain saying we lack more players who play in big leagues in Europe for BafanaBafana and we know very well that player who does that would never see a day in any of those leagues, so my question is why with bafana we want to have world class players but with OfficialPSL players we want to embrace mediocrity? One player from those streets tsa showboating couldn't even survive one season in the PSL n we call it our culture, it's just useless street football culture n wont serve any good in professional football. Let's move on its boring now

ANC makes land about-turnThe ANC is ditching a key clause in the proposed bill it previously supported in Parliament. Another Nasty Curve (ANC) After asked something by the person do follow up, before you do waste donations. If this about turn is genuine then it's a good move.
