The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) is a department of the Government of South Africa with responsibility for sport, the arts, culture, and heritage. It was created in June 2019 by the merger of the Department of Arts and Culture with Sport and Recreation South Africa.[1] As of 2022 the Sport, Arts and Culture Minister was Nathi Mthethwa.[2]
DSAC and its predecessors provided more than R 70 million for the maintenance of Liliesleaf Farm, a national heritage site of great significance to the history of the African National Congress and the liberation struggle against apartheid, from 2008 until 2021. At that time the museum was owned and run by the Liliesleaf Trust, headed by founder and CEO Nicolas Wolpe.[3] After a dispute about funding, Mthethwa said that a process had begun towards declaring Liliesleaf Museum "as a cultural institution in accordance with the Cultural Institutions Act". This would enable Parliament to oversee the museum.[2]
