We have a ministry in place.We also have our NAC with its fair share of incapabilities.There is nothing at provincial level not to mention the district and currently we don't even know which Ministry cultural officers belong to since community development has everything to do with Health, mothers and children and nothing to with culture and arts.Artists don't even have the simplest means for engaging government in meaningful dialogue. We have heard of formations of commissions and then nothing else. Surely that must be an awful lot of work to do considering that so much has happened in the other twin department of Tourism. Seven months down the line one twin is clearly more and more active as evidenced by several Ministerial pronouncements,firing and hiring. Truth be said,the fratenal twin of arts is frail. Perhaps we as artists are to blame for not putting on the government table what we want. Or is it government to blame for not putting in the structures through which meaningful dialogue can be achieved? The blame game is lame. Its not too late government with its machinery can organise a diagnostic Indaba where all problems to do with the arts can be discussed and a way forward can be sculpted.Nick Alitili Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559518900331810164noreply@blogger.com
