Briefly News had previously reported that Zakes Bantwini called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to make him the Minister of Arts and Culture.
Taking to social media, Zakes made the public request and explained that he could do the job better than the current minister, Nathi Mthethwa.
He said:
“I want to be Minister of Art & Culture @PresidencyZA. This pandemic has been extremely challenging for our industry and it's clear we have NO leadership that cares for creative economy of this nation. As creatives we deserve better and I want to change that for next generation.”
