Call for nominations: National Arts Council of SA members

The call is in terms of NAC Act No. 56 of 1997 and nominated candidates should possess special knowledge and experience in the field of arts. Nominees who possess other skills - which are not directly related to arts but could be beneficial to the council, for example managerial, finance, human resources and legal – will be considered. Candidates must be willing to render community service.

Anyone wishing to nominate a person for possible appointment to the NAC council should submit the following:

• A nomination letter containing the full names and all contact details of the nominee. The letter must also provide reasons for the nomination and explaining suitability for appointment.
• A statement/letter signed by the nominee in which he or she agrees to the nomination.
• Recently updated CV of the nominee, including three contactable references.
• Certified copies of the nominee’s ID and educational qualifications.

No nomination will be considered unless all of the above are included. Correspondence will only be entered into with shortlisted candidates. The names of the nominees, including the dates, time and venue of the interviews as well as the final list of appointed candidates will be published on the NAC and the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture websites to enable members of the public to participate in the appointment process as required by the Act. The remuneration of the appointed council members will be in line with the rates prescribed by the National Treasury.

Nominations must be addressed to the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture director-general for the attention of Lindeka Moeng:
