"This is unacceptable. As an artist, I deserve to be paid for my work, but it seems like the government does not value the arts.
"It is more sad that when someone sitting in the office just decides that I can't get my money I worked for."
Sibongile claims she is owed R100K
According to Sunday World, Sibongile Mngoma alleged that the Department of Arts and Culture owes her R100 000.
“I was told that there is no money. They are looking for more funds from Treasury. The amount that is outstanding is R100,000. So it’s not a lot of money for them, but it’s the difference between life and death to most South Africans,”
An emotional Mngoma went on social media and alleged that she had not received any communication.
ZiMoja reported that the minister, Nathi Mthethwa, denied owing Sibongile Mngoma money.
