We believe this is a result of our excellent work, which we will continue to uphold,” Gumbi said.

Nzima also added that as the government, they remain steadfast in their commitment to support the creative sector. “I am pleased to share that we are expediting efforts to professionalise this vital industry. This endeavour is aimed at transforming the creative sector into a vibrant economic contributor, one that not only attracts local and international investors, but also solidifies its place as an essential player in the economic development agenda,” the minister said.
