#FirstThingsFirst - Gayton McKenzie promises a monthly allowance for living legends

Loading player...

Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie announced on Thursday that his department will commission documentaries to celebrate 25 legends of the creative sector. Speaking at an event honouring the stars who are part of The Living Legends Legacy Fraternity Trust, he also promised a monthly allowance for artists over the age of 70. Is this fair? Is R50 000 allowance sustainable? What will happen once a new Minister is installed? These are questions raised by team and listeners as they debated this latest move from McKenzie.
