SA Rapper AKA, one of the country’s most vocal celebs about the
effect of Covid-19 and the lockdown, has criticised the decision by
sports, arts and culture minister Nathi Mthethwa to give creatives
R2,200 a month for the next 3 months.
On Monday Mthethwa announced a second wave of relief funds for
artists and employees in the arts industry, explaining that creatives
can apply to potentially get R2,200 a month to mitigate the effects of
the pandemic and the locdown.
AKA weighed in on the decision, asking what he would do with this amount.
The rapper said the whole thing seemed “backwards” to him because,
apparently, the people who calculated the amount didn’t take into
account the usual lifestyle of artists.
“Why the fk has it been designated to artists who spend that
amount of money per week on ganja, and not given to people who actually
need it? It’s all a backwards.”
Some felt AKA was being “ungrateful” and that, compared to the R350 ordinary citizens get, R2,200 was a lot of money.
However, AKA was adamant the money would never be enough for him. He said he’s not unemployed, nor retrenched.
“I am not retrenched and I am not unemployed. I am trying to not
retrench people and I am self-employed. You guys are not going to force
me to be grateful for R2k from the government. It does not mean s**t to
me.”

The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST.
Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else.
When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else.
