New Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, is facing backlash after releasing a list of beneficiaries of the COVID-19 relief fund, intended for artists and cultural workers. Chairperson of the South African Guild of Actors Jack Devnarain and former Secretary General of the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa Ayanda Roda weigh in on the issue.

Mr Gayton, if they took the money from the government its our right to know😂😂😂 those who took the money they should swallow their pride and accept to be named public 😅😅😅

I am STRONGLY opposed to Gayton McKezie's political positions, BUT in this case he has done EXACTLY what is required of EVERY cabinet minister - there can NEVER be any problem in being transparent about political actions - most politicians seem to forget that WE (THE PEOPLE) have placed them in these privileged positions

Mockery or not, people need to be held accountable for their actions and the Minister has done a good job. We as the public say, Mr Mackenzie, thank you for showing us who benefited from the government and we don't care what artists think because they never disclosed nor thanked the government for the funds.

You're off the mark, just like this biased panel. Do you really think the minister won't be targeting all other bodies? A lot of people seem to have a disconnect when it comes to corruption. We want corruption out, this process is going to be ugly. Long may it continue too.
