South African musician Zakes Bantwini said that he wanted to run for the position of Minister of Arts and Culture.
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.
