One of South Africa’s controversial musicians, David Scott better known as The Kiffness had tongues wagging when he was among the 3 962 beneficiaries who were recently listed and publicised by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC).

The musician known to publicly criticise the government for lack of funding and not supporting the artists, received R20 000 in funding during the Covid-19 lockdown.
