Arthur Mafokate said : “The National Arts Council put out a call for applications for both individuals and for companies to propose projects that would create employment and income for those in the creative industry. Various organisations and companies with capacity and capability proposed projects to help benefit the industry.

Arthur Mafokate said : “It has become suspiciously clear that there are personnel within the NAC that are playing a divisive role — selectively releasing information on funding allocations which is completely unethical. They are fuelling the fire and feeding into the fixed narrative that some of us are corrupt, and unlawfully benefitted from the scheme, without producing any irrefutable evidence. All we did was applying for funding to implement projects to benefit the industry,” “Recent developments have raised concern about individuals at NAC which is very disappointing. It puts into question this whole process, where is the money? We have certainly not seen any of it. Our projects are now under scrutiny and intention is to halt the promised payments towards our projects. They do not understand that the money should be allocated to employing thousands of people. Their mentality assumes any funding is for a quick buck and thus, brings my reputation and those of my companies and organisations I am affiliated to into disrepute. Say what you want about me, it never bothers me. I am used to it but when you mention my son, my daughter, and my sister in this scenario it is not only abhorrent, but a demonstration of a personal vendetta.”
