VOTE FOR NORTH WEST ARTISTS IN SATMA 2022 – ACSR
By Vusi Kama
The
North West Department of Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation (Acsr) has made a
clarion call to citizens of the province and beyond to vote for the South
African Traditional Music Achievement (Satma) Awards nominees who hail from the
province.
The awards ceremony will be held in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, on October 1.
Ten
nominees from the North West made the cut when the announcement was made in
Witbank earlier.
They include Acsr, which has been nominated in the ‘’Best Department of Arts and Culture’’ category and a departmental intern, Thapelino Medupe (see side bar).
In previous editions of the awards, the department walked home with the “Best Department of Arts and Culture” in East London (2013), and “Best Arts and Culture Directorate” in Mbombela last year.
Artists
from the Province have traditionally done well at the Awards, bagging numerous
trophies.
“We urge the community of the North West to continue to support our artists and vote for them so that they can bring the awards home,” said Acsr spokesperson, Shuping Sebolecwe.
Closing date is
September 30 (15H00).
