Why Rasta wants Minister Gayton's attention
According to TshisaLIVE, Rasta wishes to get the minister's attention so they can meet and have a conversation about the state of the arts industry.
Rasta hopes to get an opportunity to voice out his grievances on issues affecting him and other artists.
“The painting is waiting for the minister to show up and get it. In that process, I will be able to have a chat about what is killing us as artists. We need to have studios, workshops, galleries and art materials shops, as this can lower the level of unemployment in our communities,” the news publication quoted him saying.
