ARTS AND CULTURE INDABA: Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa vows to defend artists’ rights By Ayanda Mthethwa
According to a 2017 report published by the South African Cultural Observatory the creative industry accounts for 2.93% of employment in the country. However, artists still battle to maintain a steady income without having to rely on other sources of income outside the industry.
The Indaba is aimed at giving the creative industry — performers, filmmakers, actors, actresses, visual curators, poets, designers and more — an opportunity to articulate a blueprint for the industry in Gauteng.We work for small change in this industry. If you negotiate an offer, they will replace you with someone. They would rather take those people who settle for any price they are given,” said freelance actress Masabatha Matlala.
