During the State of the Nation Address in January 2008, then-President Thabo Mbeki outlined a series of initiatives to step up the pace of delivery and demonstrate a greater sense of urgency to achieve government’s goals, including the “apex” priorities further to boost growth and eradicate poverty. These initiatives formed a major part of government’s work during 2008/09. <PMXI[\Å^MaMIZ[_MZMKPIZIK\MZQ[MLUIQVTaJa[][\IQVMLMKWVWUQKM`XIV[QWVIVL more rapid job creation.

    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) con- tinues to make signifi cant strides in positioning Arts and the cultural and creative industries as one of the main drivers of economic growth and job crea- tion in South Africa. The success of the arts and culture sector is also reliant on effective governance, infra- Culture structure and skills development, partnerships, research, sharing of information and enterprise development. In this context, the department is committed to supporting a number of emergent shifts in the arts, culture and heritage sector over the next fi ve years. These shifts have the potential to increase the growth and development of the sector signifi cantly. They include addressing a number of inade- quacies in the policy and regulatory environment to strengthen governance in the sector, increase investment and improve information and sta- tistics for more effective planning and decision - making. The DAC is strengthening co - operation with a range of public and private sector institu- tions and stakeholders. The development and implementation of the Mzansi Golden Economy Strategy is an example of how to mobilise the resources of all stakeholders in the sector. Measures to promote the arts include: • providing fi nancial, as well as information and communication technology support to artists to enable the creation of works expressing national creativity, while opening space for vibrant debate • strengthening the Independent Communica- tions Authority of South Africa’s mandate for nation - building and value inculcation • incentivising commercial distribution networks to distribute and/or host art • developing and implementing plans for a more effective arts and culture curriculum in schools with appropriate educator support • supporting income-smoothing for artists in a special unemployment insurance scheme and evaluating funding models for such initiatives • developing sectoral determination legislation frameworks to protect arts-sector employees.

    LECTURE BY THE PATRON OF THE TMF, THABO MBEKI, ON THE OCCASION OF THE CELEBRATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE BIRTH OF OLIVER REGINALD TAMBO: JOHANNESBURG, 27 OCTOBER, 2017. Members and representatives of the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation, our hosts this evening; Dear Members of the Tambo family; Fellow South Africans; Comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen: Had OR Tambo been alive, today we would have gathered in happy gatherings throughout our country to wish him a very happy centenary birthday! However as we meet today, to mark this centenary, we still wish to convey a heartfelt happy birthday message to Oliver Tambo, our beloved OR and esteemed leader, certain that he will hear our message wherever he is. Accordingly, today, October 27, 2017 our people, joined by the peoples of the rest of Africa and the world, stand up and say in unison – happy birthday our dear and respected Oliver Tambo, our beloved OR! However, at the same time as we celebrate a hundredth birthday, we have gathered here today at a time of great stress for OR’s movement, the ANC, and his country, South Africa. The comments we will make about Oliver Tambo as we celebrate the centenary of his birth will emphasise two matters. One of these is that periodically the ANC has had to confront and respond to threats which challenged its very existence. Another is that these threats and the ANC responses have also been related to the development of our country.
