- The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has published the Covid-19 relief 2020-2021 beneficiaries list. Dr Sipho Sithole says if he were one of the beneficiaries whose names were published, he would return the money to the department as this was an insult.
Howard University Professor, Dr. Sipho Sithole speaks to Newzroom Afrika's Naledi Moleo.

If you receive public funds,the public has the right to know!
SASSA beneficiaries also should be published then, while we at it.
@@tmlsa9830 what's wrong with that...
@@tmlsa9830 That's actually a good idea.
@@shawnberry6110 Not forgetting Apartheid beneficiaries.
@@tmlsa9830 Publish the list if you have it. You're actually making sense even though you don't know it.
It's our money as tax payers we got the right to know what's happening to our money
Thank you.
Artists pay taxes too get off your high horse, case in point "makhadzi" who's being rediculed by this populist tyrant minister, who wants to be seen as doing something🤨
@@mariajordaan-f8o 👊👊👊super 🥂🥂🍾🍾
Mr Minister didn't do anything wrong about the transparency..this is just being paranoid, as Tax payers we've got a right to know where our money goes to
If you have aids,you must be the face of a hospital
I am an Artist, and I 💯% disagree with Mr Sithole. The minister didn't shame artist, the minister is showing that certain individuals are always beneficiaries when other artists also could use the help. Mr Sithole speaks for a certain status quo, who are always milking and siding with politicians!!!
This guy is used to chowing money. He is definitely shaken. Gayton we support you. Clean that department
If they did nothing wrong then they should not be embarrassed when the list is published 😂🤧
Absolutely 💯
Exactly
*Exactly my point, we've been praying for the transparency from the government all these years now the transparency is here we're still complaining*
SASSA beneficiaries also should be published then, while we at it.
All departments must be published period
This Man is upset at someone standing up against corruption
Wonder why he is upset about cleaning up and transparency???
@@trudyneumann8945 people complain anc is corrupt when there is someone being transparent they unhappy 😒 this is a confused country

@@cheryllinlouw51 - so agree, but the complainers usually have something to hide.
Media has destroyed this country we no longer know whether we are going or coming it's a disaster period.As the guy speaking I total agree with with his points. @@cheryllinlouw51
I think this guy was also funded, he is not happy with the transparency
He was
yep, guilt is busy with him
Now. everything is in the open and we as voters and taxpayers know what was going on behind the scenes.
@@MinaGalant- agree, about time. We all want transparency in every department. Well done to the new minister.
This guy should not be given platform
Exactly her contribution not needed.
Self pity💯galore he must man-up he should have kept this sentiments to himself,God help SA
NO we r not suppose to block his views. I suspect he might be afraid of something.
We're indeed in a sick country. How can someone like McKenzie be criticized for condemning wrong?
Oodaki got problem most complainers.
I support the minister 1000% and with ❤❤❤
What wrong is he condemning?
Exactly what wrong is he condemning?
I'm also surprised
You are not the minister , I pay thousands of tax each month for years and on a large part being kept poor because of high tax rates we all need to know where our money as a nation goes to, it's called transparency
The money that these artists received , was our money as taxpayers. So, we need to know how our money is spent. Nothing wrong with what Minister did. I really don't understand what the gripe is.
exactly,atleast they received something.
the rest of the citizens didn't get any financial assistance
They also pay tax.
Your guest shouldn't be invited back. It's wonderful the minister is being transparent.
Those funds are taxpayers money 😂😂😂 transparency is needed to curb corruption.
The gentleman is not make sure😂😂😂
He is a beneficiary.
Dr Sithole is a mad man
@@nikelomakae1127 is he a genuine doctor or just one of those weird North West University PhD graduates😂😂😂
The list proves that some artists got between R10 000 to R73 000 during Covid. While the rest of us had to survive on R350? WOW..😱
This gentleman is exceedingly condescending; insulting the minister is no sign of being intelligent.
HE IS INTELLIGENT
@@boitumelomotingwe7806 says who😂😂😂
As if the previous ministers did anything better, spoke like someone offended and previously benefited from this department
He is accurate, when you put a CLOWN like Gayton into palace, the palace become a CIRCUS.
@@jameskillu9171for now at least the minister is in the right
This man spoke absolute nonsense. I don’t understand what his issue is with transparency. He just never be invited back
This guy is part of the problem not the solution.
He is talking bullshit he want looting to continue ... could be on the looting gravy train
But the minister never said that we artists are criminal. What kind of a doctor is this now
is this person a doctor?
Well done Minister Gayton McKenzie. Most citizens appreciate the transparency. Taxpayers need to know where and how the government spend our money
This guy won't win the majority of South Africans love what the minister is doing, we tired of corruption
We don't care what he said the public need to know how our tax money was spent. Being transparent is the best way forward. They can hate the minister or judge or criticize him we don't care he is doing a good job it's our money that has been used by the more privilege. So minister keep us updated and stay transparent. We appreciate what you are doing.
This attack on Gayton is unwarranted. Dr Sithole is being disingenuous and must allow the minister to work. The list is not criminalizing anyone, the public must know where public funds go
TAX PAYERS MONEY .....WHY ARE U DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIVABLE . PEOPLE TOOK MONEY BUT THEY DENIED TAKING IT
Dr Sithole needs to tell us how much he got himself
😂😂😂
He was found shaking 😂
HE sounds very guilty
this stole is a thief himself
Volume please.
Uhlanya wena, He is exposing corruption and inequality
I cant understand the man's interpretation .... is he also part of the system. A Dr. Of which Sector ...how much has he contributed. Disrespectful to a minister.. rotten to the core! He must be dealt with from past experience! They should get rid of him in that department....deal with him Minister!
What's about transparency dr sithole.. nothing wrong nothing sinister with transparency. RSA want transparency NOTHING ELSE. THUMPS UP MINISTER AMANDLA SISONKE HONE ARE THEFTS.
Transparency is part of it. We are the taxpayers which means we are the stakeholders. We are simply being informed where our money has been spent as it is our right to know. If you are too embarrassed about having your name on the list, then don't take the money. The Minister is simply being accountable to taxpayers.
So grateful the Dr, is not the minister, and we will not have to wait for 2040 to get action......
What's this guy talking about. Did he consider the people that has to stand in a que for the R350 grant?
Thank you!
This one needs to be canceled
McKenzie is going no where, he must get used to transparency
Universities and other research institions are transparent about who is successfully funded, and these are grants that come from the government (Department of Sicence and Innovation, tax payers money). I don't see how Sports, Arts, and Culture should be hiding their beneficiaries.
Yes. We want transparency in every department.
I support Gayton that what transparancy is
This man is being very defensive. Lots of skelms on that list. 😅😅😅
Looks like he also got money as well, while the old age and kids are suffering and suffered with the pennies they got.
Why is he acting like Gayton said everyone on the list is corrupt or thiefs? All he said to my understanding is everyone on the list are the ones who has benefitted from the fund. Any artists who didnt can come out and say it. Then we can move on to (if the money didnt go to them who was the department actually giving the money to) like that poor singer crying on social media saying she didnt. We need to see all the people benefiting from each department. So we can see for ourselves who is actually the one's eating and how much while other goes without or less
Yes I agree 💯💯💯
I guess this guy doesn't know FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
R350 for unemployed,R2000,for grannies,R500 for kids is not a secret....why this of entertainment industry has to be a secret?we also need to know the list of artists who did not benefit on that COVID 19 help.
The Story Is Short and Simple. He Is The Ministering Minister... Sir Gayton McKenzie! We Salute You Sir, End Of Story.
This guy sounds weak and irrelevant
He's actually making sense
@@conceretejungle1150 REALLY?? He sounds like he knows something connected to him is going to come out soon.
He is making so much sense to those who understand governance....
@@senzomemela1311 WHICH GOVERNANCE ?
@@conceretejungle1150 TOO MUCH
I am confused why is it supposed to be kept a secret?They were helped period (it shows the government took care of their own people moes
Every department must release!!! We want to see everyone, company etc no one must be safe lol
Even SABC
this guy is crazy. we want transparency as we voted
Sithole ake uthule
People in the entertainment industry should just be thankful that they got these millions of rands for free from our tax money so that they could continue pay their luxury expenses wherever they live. There are extremely poor people who can't even show you where Sandton is located and all they got was R350, if they were lucky. This man is just here to defend a ridiculous case.
Its time for transparency in every department. Well done.
how is it shamefull to get funding ? , I won't be shameful if my name is on the list I'll be happy for the money this guy is crazy
It is public money. We as the public must know what "OUR" money is been used for
the best approach for public to know would be the total budget and the list of everyone who benefited from the spending, businesses, contractors and individuals.
If you big guy did not benefit incorrectly why are you against this???!!!Democracy doesn't say LOOT &. Take what's not Rightfully yours ...it's called TRANSPARENCY..get over it..the voters need to know
Celebs, so-called “artists” are so entitled, if you’re receiving taxpayer money the public deserve to know.
Cant even make out what this Dr is trying to say. He is very difficult to follow. Mckenzie is absolutely right. Public funds must be accounted for.
I am a professional nurse the so called frontliner during Covid 19. I was not even compensated during that difficult being affected by Covid 19 . I was only given 5 days of leave as compensation. I didn't even enjoy my tax
So true 👍🏾 ❤
who is this guy to think artists are such an exclusive group to be paid more than what they got ,whereas the other citizens were also without work during covid and they got no financial assistance from government. 😠
He is talking bullshit
I think this guy is high on something we asked for transparency but yet still we want to complain we as the public and taxpayers have a right to know these things
That must be one of the worst interviewer's i have seen. She couldn't even ask relevant interrogation questions. That guy cant be a Proffessor and a leader in the industry. His an empty head!
I dont care about what this guy is saying. The minister is doing great job .Get rid of corruption.Be transparent. Speak vtuth to power❤
Dr Sithole is 1000% on point. Nice one Naledi.
*We've been crying for the transparency from the government all these years, now the transparency is here we are still complaining. This doesn't make sense at all*
and so the criminals and thiefs are showing how upset they are becuase their stealing wil finaly stop
While some people were suffering only given 350 😢
Dr Sithole doesn't understand the Minister's stance, he thinks that the were put on the list because they are criminals, which is not the case, unfortunately the presenter didn't help him understand the point of the list
Why I suspect he don't want transparency.
This guy wants to be a Minister but we don't want him.
These guys make millions of rands in their business, and we know most of them use our money to buy drugs, alcohol and womanizing. Most don't even give out to charity. They can't come here as crybabies and want a minister who wants transparency to be taken off. We have a right to know where our tax money goes to. Think about those expected to survive on R350.
There’s nothing wrong here, he sounds more like a politician who has an issue with PA… Sports Minister he’s absolutely correct while some people only got R350 but celebrities honoured more
I don't know how he can say what he's saying. Please let the Minister do his work.
By law we all should have access to information the new minister did well by exposing the expenditure, this man is out of line.
U should listen to MP Gayton's interviews then u will hear that he has already sit in meetings with the arts and culture and so on
Some people on the list never received money . Where did that money go?🤷♂️ This guy talk sh....t
Tax payers deserve to know how our money is being spent! The Minister is doing a great job and he needs to be congratulated! This Dr. has exposed himself as a money grabber. The Minister is cleaning up and that''s a great idea!
We are tired of business behind closed doors, kube kusetyenziswa imali yethu. If it's taxpayers' money, make it public.
Others bebefited more than the others why?
It's part of the rot that will be uncovered.
This guy is part of the problem!
Someone is advocating for SASSA beneficiaries to be exposed as well and i agree, i want to see if the numbers communicate.
The guest sounds scared of something. We the public are not asking you how much you are making but how much are you getting from the government we must know if you refuse to disclose then don't accept the money.
We can't be having Arthur receiving money yet sika lekhekhe was last performed 2k years ago, he is clearly no longer a active artist
We are happy with Lord Gayton this far, and we are very excited to see what new ideas he brings.
We want to know where exactly OUR money is going and to who?
This dude is talking about a provincial sector given R500k only, while the minister said some individual was given R20 Mil, but this dude still wants the status quo to continue unchallenged?
Prof/Dr is very emotional...very worrying! Batho Pele (transparency)principles is applied in this manner
Bab Sipho Sithole is shaking😂😂 we want to know what happens with state funds, other ministers should follow suite
this guy is a doctor by mistake
I DONT AGREE WITH THIS GUY , WHY DIDDNT THE MINISTER AT THE TIME DIDNT GIVE THE ARTIST A FOOD PARCEL. HE IS DOING WHAT HE IS NOW
how is getting R20k or R70k a shame, the man is doing what all government should be doing, being transparent to the public since they work or should be working for us.all the minister is saying why is so much money being allocated to certain parts of the society when we could help artists but paying them less than we did and take the rest and put it in areas that is going to help most in that sector, all this secrecy is the reason why ANC have been stealing from us for 3 decades without any repercussion
*Yawn* The gravy train is ending for you.
Im disappointed to this guy. They have been benefitting from the rot then. Wow..
So arrogant...... This Guy!!! Useless
Something is wrong with mr sthole he missed the point the are artists who didn't get that money why n why are they not getting the same amount some got a mere 2000 n other's got 75000 we want our money im a struggling artists
Surely he is been benefiting from that.
He was the same guy who refuse to help the artist during covid in his offices , very rude as well
Who's this guy really, did you say he's a professor? 😏
These are not private funds wena.
This is a anc beneficiary
Ugejile baba. I am disappointed, you didn't research the issue.
I think the news anchor was also not robust in questioning him about his accusation. What a bad interview.
Public money, Tax money. I should know as a taxpayer were my money goes.
Im sorry but it’s our Ten Thousands, it’s nothing for him cause he is monied, he must just stay in his lane…we need to know where it’s going. This guy is too educated.
Viva Minister. We are tired of being lied too. Minister you are on the right track.
This guy is taking this personally, as if his name is there on the list, anyways if people on the list benefited rightfully/honestly then why is he getting so worked up.
This Dr is a clown. GM ons biza nie. Sit hom op sy plek.
This Dr is also benefiting
He sounds like one of the privileged gravy train riders.
Shame this poor man.
