@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa @NathiMthethwaSA @nacsouthafrica What a disappointment you are! None of us will vote for you again!

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

Exactly a year ago & nothing has changed @NathiMthethwaSA @PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa @nacsouthafrica I’m so embarrassed for these people!

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

We are still waiting for our relief fund @NathiMthethwaSA @nacsouthafrica @SportArtsCultur @PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa

[Max du Preez @MaxduPreez]

Please remind me: why does South Africa have a whole Minister of Sport? Shouldn't we then also have a Minister of Koesisters & Vetkoek?

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

I received funds 6-months into the Lockdown; 6-months of scraping pennies together only to get these funds & pay over to the Rental Agent! I’ll be paying off the balance for many years to come. These people are heartless!

[Quintus Jansen @QuintusJansen]

@DidiMoses I received funding during the first round (3 months late). A measly figure. Subsequent rounds have not been paid to me - even though I submitted the same information and documents. Sigh...

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

Have you paid your bond for the month? I’m 10-months in arrears with my rent because of no work or financial assistance from your sector. I may be on the street in the next 2-days. If you pay our relief fund, it will pacify the situation. Would you like me to beg?

[Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa @NathiMthethwaSA]

As the Minister ultimately responsible, I firstly want to issue an unconditional apology for the task I entrusted with the NAC. You can rest assured that the much-needed stimulus for the sector will continue to be disbursed & we'll hold those who over-committed funds accountable.

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

Any news on the relief fund for individual artists please?

[Ambassador Nathi Mthethwa @NathiMthethwaSA]

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

@Rbjacobs May I please ask you to get the Forex department to make contact with me? The 3 numbers I usually dial for various FNB branches, says they no longer exist & there is a payment made to me from abroad that I have POP for, 2-weeks ago, but no communication from the bank.

[Sibongile Mngoma @SibongileMngoma]

DAY 17 of the sit in at the National Arts Council offices in Newtown. We are still seeking answers. Where is the PESP money? Why are artists still not paid???? @CyrilRamaphosa

Oooooh!!!!!! This means everything to me! Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Georgia Alexandra (she/her) @GeorgiaOnYrMind]

@DidiMoses @NathiMthethwaSA (Unrelated side note: can’t believe I am tweeting you! I have been a huge fan of yours for years @DidiMoses. You are a true light in the dance community 💫)

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

@NathiMthethwaSA thinks the only artists are the celebrities he sees on the red carpet at awards ceremonies @GeorgiaOnYrMind He has no clue as to what artists are! Despicable!!!!!

[Georgia Alexandra (she/her) @GeorgiaOnYrMind]

@DidiMoses @NathiMthethwaSA @TheFugard @NathiMthethwaSA Where is your statement about the closure of this space? Your silence is deafening.

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

He is in hiding! I would hide too if I was this incompetent! No, actually, I’d resign, but it must be nice still pulling a salary for doing NOTHING!!!!!

[Georgia Alexandra (she/her) @GeorgiaOnYrMind]

@DidiMoses @NathiMthethwaSA @TheFugard @NathiMthethwaSA Did you reach out to the management team when they announced the closure and retrenchment of the bulk of its staff in July 2020? No you did not.

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

Yes! And he turns the other way while the doors shut! Devastation!!!!

[Georgia Alexandra (she/her) @GeorgiaOnYrMind]

@DidiMoses @NathiMthethwaSA @TheFugard Honestly no. @NathiMthethwaSA did you know that @TheFugard employed approx. 2000 artists, creatives, set builders, lighting techs, stage managers etc during its 10 years? Did you know that it had a thriving audience development programme that was funded entirely by the founder?

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

@GeorgiaOnYrMind Do you think @NathiMthethwaSA knows what @TheFugard is? He was boasting a while back on how Theatre in SA is thriving. This man is hiding! Come out #NathiMustGo There’s a crisis in the Arts. We need you to step up!

[Georgia Alexandra (she/her) @GeorgiaOnYrMind]

I am devastated to hear about the permanent closure of @TheFugard. So many memories. So many life-changing shows.

But the best thing about it was the team that made it happen. Thinking about all of you today.

[Didi Moses 🇿🇦 @DidiMoses]

What exactly is this man even saying? Hey @NathiMthethwaSA did you type this? Break this down for us? This sentence makes absolutely no sense! Stop talking kak & let someone who understands the Arts, PLEASE take your seat? You really are clueless! You’re also a big, fat BULLY!
