REPLY
Yes,
(a) Funding is still available for arts and culture projects
Projects will focus on arts and culture projects that will be
launched during the 2010
World Cup and legacy projects that will continue even after the
World Cup.
The projects to be supported by the National Department of Arts and
Culture are:
(1) My 2010 School Adventure:
Our role is to lead, manage and activate the
education pillar. Funds will be
spent in hosting the National finals held on the 1st
May 2010.
2) The Fly the Flag for Football campaign is another project to be
supported by the Department. The Department will supply flags,
initiate an education campaign on the protocols of the flag and
the National Anthem.
(3) Government promised a truly African World Cup. To this end
the Department
will host Artists from the Qualified African Countries at
our Africa Day
celebrations, artists from these countries will also be
seen at the opening
and Clothing ceremonies and the PVAs.
(4) The visits to these countries will help map out other avenues
for
participation.
5) A tourist guide that will help guide visitors on various arts
and culture
activities taking place in the country, as well as in our
heritage sites will be
developed. This will follow the format of a booklet, to be
produced and
distributed by the Department.
6) The Departmentâs flagship project is undoubtedly the opening and
closing ceremonies, expected to be an artistic and cultural
extravaganza of note, African flair through music, song and
dance.
7) The Department will also support festivals, crafters, theatre
productions and PVAs to further showcase our culture during the
World Cup and to create jobs.
8) It will be a missed opportunity if the Department did not
leverage this tournament by using it to profile and promote arts
and culture programmes. Amounts available for these programmes
are as follows:
(a) National projects mentioned above
- R35 million
b) Opening and Closing Ceremony - R40 million
c) Provincial and Local projects listed below - R60 million
