Nigerian Artists Receiving Covid Relief Grant Spark Anger In SA (PICS) by WannaHowzit(m): 1:43pm On Jul 11 |
Artists and sports professionals were paid on average between R10,000 (N880,000) and R20,000 (N1,8 million) during South Africa's two-year Covid-19 restrictions which left many professionals cash-strapped. https://briefly.co.za/entertainment/celebrities/191281-minister-gayton-mckenzie-responds-concerns-nigerian-artists-receiving-covid-grants/ 2 Likes 1 Share

RichBoy247: South Africa is not Europe neither is it Us....we are a developing country with lots of socio-economic issues. With that being said,USA and Europe paid foreign artists the same money they paid their artists during this period? . Stop lying. In South Africa refugees and PR holders do recieve the same assistance as South Africans and no one is complaining. But this is a different issue. How does a foreign artists who should be feeding himself recieve such benefits from a foreign country, name the European country that has done such nonsense?. Artists are ambassadors of their nations and should be looked after by the nations they promote. 3 Likes |

This has nothing to do with hate , the case reeks of corruption and government recklessness and should be investigated and culprits including the artists brought to book if found wanting. 3 Likes |

Lionessza6:Yes, they do. It was benefits to artistes and sport professionals. A few of the beneficiaries were nigerians earning a living and paying taxes in south africa, unless you wanna argue blindly there ain't artistes and sport professionals of nigerian descent legally making a living in south africa. 8 Likes 1 Share |

PressMyButton: No one would complain about sport professionals like Nwabali who pay taxes in South Africa, the issue is with random artists who cannot prove their source of income apart from the fact that they're" artists" . Foreign artists don't have tax numbers in SA unless if they are PR holders, Davido can't come to SA during a crisis and claim benefits, he has to feed himself as a visitor here or go back home if he has no means , otherwise we will end up being the charity case of abandoned African artists . We need clarity on their status in South Africa and on what basis they were given the same treatment as the native artists. 4 Likes |

Lionessza6:It's your prerogative to demand their status under which they were given benefits but it would be myopic of you to make conjectures without facts. From the report, they're professionals from sport and music industry entitled to the benefits unless proven otherwise. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

So south Africans also do name checking like Nigeria. We blame the Europeans for being racists,but the level of tribalism, chauvinism, nepotism in Africa towards each other is unimaginable. If the whites express one quarter of Africa tribalism,I swear not a single person will step in Europe not to talk to earning a living there. My sister living in Indiana got about $4500 for covid relief in 2021, and not a single eye brow was raised about her origin,same as my friend in Genoa Italy. But common small rands to Nigerian in southy some citizens there are going on rampage,even the shameful Minister saying he would find out. Lord 18 Likes 2 Shares |

PressMyButton: Like I said, being a professional from another country doesn't qualify you for benefits here , you need to have the proper documentation for that not just be here to perform or vacation. If they truly are deserving, no problem but if not ,then they must be brought to book with their enablers. "Artists" that no one even knows about here is suspicious , who do they even perform for here if people don't even recognize their names ....this is where the issue is. Let everything about these people be investigated thoroughly so we can rest 3 Likes |

OriOko88: What are you ranting about ? We shouldn't audit our books as a natio because we are an African country? One of the minister's missions is to cut corruption and redirect funds from undeserving sports and arts beneficiaries to those adding value to arts and sports that promote our country's image better. What role are random Nigerian artists playing to promote the image of our country? Refugees and PR holders get benefits in South Africa as well, but not visitors and illegal immigrants. So I don't know what you're barking for . 3 Likes |
