Annual Performance Plan 2019|2020 Working with the DTI, the Department contributed to the amendment of the Copyright Bill, which has since been passed by Parliament. The Department will embark on an awareness programme to inform the sector of the importance and benefits of intellectual property and copyright. To respond to the realities of the fourth industrial revolution, the Department will continue with its modernisation programme. We have commenced with the development of a grant management system for the MGE programme. This will enable people to apply online (desktop/mobile) and for the Department’s back-end officers to manage the application process up to implementation stage. In the medium to long term the track-and-trace system will also link with other funding agencies, so that the work of government is aligned and coordinated. We will also set up a call centre to enhance our responsiveness and ensure that the Department responds more quickly to proposals and requests for funding while also addressing queries and complaints from our stakeholders. Both these initiatives are being developed and piloted and will be rolled out fully in 2019/20. In recent years, the Department has experienced budget cuts due to competing priorities. This has 10 had an impact on how we distribute or redirect limited resources, including levelling the playing fields. We will implement a new funding regime in the coming financial year. The focus will be on areas that have received little or no funding in the past, while the funding #IAMTHEFLAG of organisations that have been funded year after year will be reduced. The plan is to focus on projects and programmes that have a national imperative and impact. We will work in earnest to encourage provinces and local government to fund programmes that benefit local communities. We will continue to fight fraud and corruption, strengthen governance, monitor and provide support to ensure stability of the Department and our entities. Transformation of the sector remains key on our agenda and we will start the process of implementing the recommendations of the revised White Paper.

THE NATIONAL Coat of Arms Contained within the shield are some of the earliest representations of humanity in the world. Those depicted were the very first inhabitants of the land, namely the Khoisan people. These figures are derived from images on the Linton Stone, a world-famous example of South African rock art. The motto - !KE E: /XARRA //KE, written in the Khoisan language of the /Xam people, means ‘diverse people unite’. 13 The National Coat of Arms is the highest symbol of the State. The Coat of Arms was launched on Freedom Day, 27 April 2000. A central image of the Coat of Arms is the well known secretary bird with its uplifted wings. Symbolism of the Coat of Arms Above the bird is the rising sun, a force that gives life while representing the flight of darkness and the triumph of discovery, knowledge and understanding of things that have been hidden, and illuminating the new life that is coming into being. Below the bird is the protea, an indigenous flower of South Africa, which represents beauty, the aesthetic harmony of all its cultures, and South Africa flowering as a nation. The ears of wheat are emblems of the fertility of the land. The elephant tusks symbolise wisdom, steadfastness and strength. At the centre stands a shield, which signifies the protection of South Africans from one generation to the next. Above it is a spear and a knobkierie. Together, they assert the defence of peace rather than a posture of war. This shield of peace, which also brings to mind an African drum, conveys the message of a people imbued with a love of culture. Department of Arts and Culture

International Treaties 2. UPDATED SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS By virtue of being a State Party to international arts, culture and heritage treaties (conventions The National Development Plan (NDP) envisions a South African society that embraces its diversity and covenants), South Africa is bound by the legal obligations enshrined in those treaties. This rather than emphasising differences along the contours of race, class, gender, religion, culture and includes implementation, domestication, reporting and other legally binding obligations.

There is a need to engage the young people of South Africa directly with the aim of promoting patriotism and shared values. The celebration and commemoration of significant national days must continue to promote interracial and intercultural gatherings that are central to social cohesion. The economic potential of arts, culture and heritage (ACH) has not been explored or exploited fully. The revision to the White Paper on Arts and Culture provides us with an opportunity to reposition the sector as a major contributor to the socio-economic imperatives of government. This entails entrenching the strategic value of ACH in society and dispelling the distorted notion that the value of ACH is recreation or entertainment only. Further, the government’s radical socio- economic transformation agenda needs to be embedded in the strategies, plans and programmes of the Department. The Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE) strategy should assist in creating job opportunities for previously disadvantaged ACH practitioners. Further, the mainstreaming of the youth, women and people with disabilities into the mainstream of the economy should be foregrounded in all our programmes. Department of Arts and Culture
