Brand SA and the department of sports, arts and culture, in association with Constitution Hill, present Play Your Part Africa Live Stream Concert on May 30.
She says: “Our work is about people, about a particular kind of consumption. Audiences are our bread and butter, and with venues, theatres and stages, closed, many people are left with nothing in their fridges. On the other hand, it has been really amazing for deejays, with Quarantine Radio by [US DJ] D-Nice and shows such as the Lockdown House Party on Channel O.”
“The key for us as a department is that we continue to create and identify opportunities which can provide relief to the sector during this Covid-19 pandemic, by promoting the work of our artists while advocating for the tangible growth of a socially cohesive society”, said Vusumuzi Mkhize, the director-general of the department.
She also joked how she shed a tear when President Cyril Ramaphosa prohibited kissing and hugging. She was, however, vexed by the situation at radio stations and their skewed ration towards playing an abundance of international music.
