“ The South African government as a constitutional democracy has embarked on various interventions to improve the livelihoods and wellbeing of persons with disabilities as part of national efforts to foster an inclusive society.
To achieve these noble goals and objectives, government has committed to working closely with the private sector, labour unions, civil society and community development organizations to removing and dis- mantle barriers to access to social and economic opportunities by persons with disabilities.
WE CAN ARTS FESTIVAL presents this practical platform for corporate, government departments and entities to reach out to the persons with disabilities sector.
The biggest milestone for the project to date was the production of a three-part TV series which premiered on DSTV Mzansi Magic Music in 2021. This was a first TV production dedicated to artist with disabilities ever on out TV screens in South Africa if not in Africa as a whole.
We are happy to announce that for the year 2024, Talent discovered from our National Talent Search which took place in 2023 across the country where new talent was discovered, that talent will be nurtured and developed in order to form part of the national festival for artists with disabilities scheduled to take place at The Durban Playhouse on the 23rd of November 2024”
