We asked artists who needed assistance to register with our provincial offices, and in Bulawayo we received 66 names. The names have been sent to Government for state assistance.
In the meantime however, a well-wisher has come on board with the donation of mealie meal which we’re happy to receive on behalf of artistes in the province
The donations were received through Sisa’s foundation and were disbursed to the artistes this morning. In donating the mealie meal Sisa said she was doing the little she can to help others during these turbulent times.
