Gauteng Department of Sports wastes R2.5 million on DSTV Delicious International Food and Music Festival
7 November 2019
The Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation (SACR) spent R2.5 million on the DSTV Delicious International Food and Music Festival while our townships lack proper sporting facilities.
This was revealed by Gauteng SACR MEC Mbali Hlophe in an oral reply to my questions in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature (GPL).
According to the MEC, the department partnered with the DSTV Delicious International Food and Music Festival for the first time this year in hosting this annual event.
It is deeply disappointing that the department is prioritising spending on wining and dining while our communities are in dire need of proper sporting grounds.
