The annual Grahamstown National Arts Festival is on track this year and the organisers have announced that all the projects that have been planned and are traditionally part of the event will go ahead.
The announcement followed media reports last week that the popular festival had applied for funding from the Department of Arts and Culture to put together a series of 2010 legacy projects .
The reports also said that this funding, a once-off grant, was uncertain since the department had not indicated whether or not it was going to provide the money about four months before the 2010 Fifa World Cup kicks off.
The reports also come amid claims that there is an ongoing forensic investigation by the department to try and find out how the R150million that was earmarked for the 2010 arts projects had “disappeared” from the government coffers.
