Legendary musicians say they are surviving on handouts and betting on games such as MoChina because they have been sidelined by the department of sport, arts and culture’s National Arts Council for gigs

The MYANC fucked you’ll up good and proper!
They will remember how they failed to protect hlaudi who had their best interests at heart
It's not only them . Small business are closing down everywhere more than half the population is not working. Let's remove the cANCer first.
When u apply for funds they decline and say reason of decline is because u forgot to put a fullstop in one of your sentences. 🤣🤣😂
How pathetic. That is pure blackentitlement. If you are not good enough to make it in the real world, you are not good enough, fullstop.
Is that bad
TimSpiritMolobi Why is anyone surprised with Nathi flag pole Mthethwa in charge.
Not legendary at all if you can't get people to pay to watch you perform. Where are your royalties if you're legendary? Should be coining it. clownworld
Kgante ba ba kreileng lottery money ke ba byang
Artist /musicians E not government employees. They R self employed. If they partied out all their life earning then dont make tax payers pay for that shit. 1000’s of artists around the world are washed out and broke. These guys should change careers.
They should investigate the Make up artist first...
Are they supposed to be paid by government?
Get n job if your arts dont work but u expect to be susessfull and want 1000000's a month for performing ask the kzn minusipality for a sponcer see they sponcer some 50milj for one day
They clearly need a trade union. Otherwise u will have characters like those NLC beneficiaries.
Bayanya labomalebe. They must prepare their cvs.
They must look for jobs like all of us
No, some if them just want to be lazy and sit back and eat tax payer money, get off your a-holes and look for your own gigs like a lot of other hardworking musicians. Also if you that legendary you should not need handouts
What about the old age grant? Or if you were artist you don't qualify
national lotteries commission is available for assistance
So SA musicians are supposed to be paid by government? Shouldn't they arrange gigs themselves as it happens all over the world?
She must hustle like the rest of us, she must stop the blaming game.
Arrest Arthur
So. Is this the deal? Does the Dept.of Arts owe them a living? Become an artist and Dpt.of Arts becomes your blesser for life
Huh? Why would a music legend depend on government for gigs and funding?
😱🥶
The corrupt are making sure that they are squandering state funds wherever they can find them. We, all innocent citizens feeling the sting of their merciless and ruthless conduct. Basibambe ngobhongwana(holding us by throat) for nothing. There is absolutely no need for that.
Why did you choose that picture?
That is Nathi Mthethwa for you , he's by far thee most useless minister in that department for the rest of our democracy.
Kanti, did they not go to Athur or lotto.
Government does not owe musicians nothing, you ate the money at your peak alone. You were supposed to be smart about that money and invest
Their money is chowed by Arthur.
National lotteries do ur thing like others

Sidelined ..? But I thought artists were like all “self-employed” entrepreneurs .. aren’t they supposed to compete for those gigs?
life is no a free ride..... hustle... hustlr... hustle... n hustle tirelessly then uzopopa
Why should they be funded by the taxpayer? Its outrageous black entitlemrnt.
Artists behave like they're from lucky packet. Hustle with other kids and stop the blaming game.
Don't they miss the 9 wasted years when we were LED...
You guys should be friends with Arthur, Terry, Presley etc
Mercy I lost your contact numbers ntombi uphi kaloku
