  • Popular Home Affairs and The Queen actress Brenda Ngxoli has expressed gratitude for the R70 000 she received over the weekend from her fans on social media.

Brenda Ngxoli, a South African actress, recently shared a video on social media where she expressed her frustration with the lack of support for the arts in South Africa, particularly highlighting the absence of funding and opportunities for artists. In the video, she criticized the government and the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture for not doing enough to support the creative industry. South Africans responded with a mix of empathy and criticism. Many agreed with her sentiments, sharing their own struggles within the arts sector, and called for better governmental support. However, some viewers felt that Ngxoli's approach was too confrontational or that she should also acknowledge the efforts being made by some organizations. The conversation sparked a broader discussion on social media about the state of arts funding, the role of artists in society, and the need for systemic change to foster a thriving arts community in South Africa.
