Yvette Hardie from ASSITEJ SA supports the TADA statement around our expectations of any incoming or outgoing Minister of Department of Sport, Arts and Culture driving the fact that we need a leader that is truly involved at a developmental level. #TADA #MinisterGoals

Nadia Virasamy of Moving into Dance on Department of Sport, Arts and Culture leadership: “Until we actually have a department that understands the industry, that understands the culture, we will not develop…” as she speaks about not only an ethical but a well-informed leadership. #TADA #MinisterGoals

Dr Ismail Mahomed of the Center for Creative Arts UKZN makes the point that this is not the first Minister of Department of Sport, Arts and Culture that has let us down, he is the 5th. We have to ask about not only the head, but about the department as a whole. #TADA #MinisterGoals

Dr Mahomed (CCA UKZN) wants us to also hold ourselves to account as the Arts and Culture sector. Sibongile Mngoma concurs with “We have not required our government to deliver adequate leadership. We have been driven by fear…” #TADA #MinisterGoals



“The studies are not there. What is our economic value in relation to GDP for example? That is the language that the politicians speak…the language of economic value…” agrees Nadia Virasamy from Moving into Dance #TADA #MinisterGoals

Anticipating a cabinet reshuffle, in the spirit of participatory democracy as an active unified voice of Arts & Culture advocacy, TADA has prepared this statement.
