Papama Mnqandi, a festival director, artist, and architectural professional says one of the main issues the country must deal with, is the misalignment in funds allocation within the sector.

He says the majority of funding is given to the film industry, neglecting the fine arts, crafters, photographers and theatre productions. 

He says events such as the Symposium and the Creatives parliament are making bold moves to bring about change. 

Mnqandi discussed this with eNCA.
