Relief fund monies must be paid out during lockdown‚ says sports minister Mthethwa TiisetsoMalepa
The department created the fund as part of its initiatives to help athletes‚ musicians and artists cope financially as they sit idle at home due to the coronavirus-enforced lockdown.
Mthethwa said he is in the process of finalising and making public the names of the people who will sit on the panel of adjudicators. He said the panel will have to hit the ground running.“It is two panels. The first deals with sports and recreation and the other one deals with the creatives‚ artists and so on.
“The panel will have to start working almost immediately because remember we are trying to speed up everything without violating supply chain management procedures as it were.” “So for instance if you come up with a solid argument and everything is clear and people on the panels are convinced that you need to get these amount of and that amount is available‚ people will get it.
