    "content": "mitigating COVID-19 effects on artists. As an example, where I come from, if you look at the way our artists operate, they are a team. You find that a band has more than 50 people. Artists are known. You cannot say that because you want to mitigate on the COVID-19 issues, you want to start inviting artists. Everybody will begin to become artists. Even me I will become an artist. So, the Government needs to find a way of mitigating and helping the artists. I like what the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has said, but that is going to be long-term. For the short-term, we need a new package to help them. Some of the artists are dying because they cannot pay rent and other bills. Life is very difficult for them. So, the Chairperson, Member for Mavoko, try to urge the Government to renew a new package for the artists, so that we can make their lives better as a Government. Thank you."
