The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has warned against a fraudulent group who allegedly claimed the department would give artist stipends to fraudulently obtain personal information from artists.
The group however claimed that a departmental official contacted the group and agreed to pay the alleged stipend prior to the department’s scam warning.
The Star spoke to the organizers of the campaign, which is also called #JusticeForCreatives, who however alleged that a department official contacted the campaign’s spokesperson Dr Cino Shearer and agreed to a stipend for the artists. The spokesperson added that the collective was also confused because the group allegedly collected their and other freelance creatives’ names and contact details themselves and sent them to the department with a memorandum of demands.
