Arts and culture is recognised as a means of promoting social dialogue and the appreciation of our shared and differing heritage. This conversation, it is anticipated, will lead to greater social cohesion in South Africa.
Projects in this sector focus on promoting performing arts, supporting skills development and transfer, youth development through the arts and increased economic opportunities for communities.
Please note that De Beers supports arts projects primarily in communities surrounding its operations, namely in the municipalities of Siyanda, Ga-Segonyana, Taung, Frances Baard, Letsemeng, Nama Khoi, Kamiesberg and Richtersveld (Northern Cape), and Musina and Blouberg (Limpopo).
RMB’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Programme focuses specifically on access to, and the quality of, music, dance, cultural expression and the preservation of our heritage. The programme looks to support indigenous expressions of art and culture, while exploring and supporting new, inclusive and diverse art forms.
