It’s that time of the year again – election season. Politicians are doing everything they can to secure votes and maintain their positions of power. And it seems that Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Zizi Kodwa, is not exempt from the criticism that comes with this season.

Recently, popular musician Prince Kaybee took to Twitter to call out Kodwa for his selective support of talent. It all started when Makhadzi’s former dancer Limpopoboy reached out to the minister, asking for funding for a dance studio. Kodwa expressed interest but requested more details.

This isn’t the first time the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture has faced criticism for its lack of support for artists and sportspeople. Many netizens pointed out that the minister only seems to help when it benefits him politically.

One Twitter user, yollzz_d, sarcastically remarked, “Right now, they’re willing to even donate their own kidneys because we are voting!” Another user, buhledmahlangu, commented, “Election period is dangerous,” highlighting the opportunistic nature of politicians during this time.
