He promised to release the list before 10 am on Wednesday, 10 July. The list includes people who received grant funding and money during COVID-19.

“We should not include people who were asked to perform and got paid on the list. I have been bombarded by people saying that they don’t get help,” said the Minister.

Earlier on Wednesday, Limpopo artist Makhadzi reacted to a statement by the department that she was one of those who had received R 230 over the last 14 months from the department.
