|December 12, 2025
THE ACTING CEO of the Northern Cape Arts and Culture Council (NCACC), Phillip Speek, testified in the Special Commercial Crimes Court in Kimberley this week that he was “not in a position to refuse” when he received instructions to process a R1.6 million payment for the so-called Umsobomvu “ghost” youth festival.
Traffic Events and Entertainment CC was awarded a R1.6 million tender by the Northern Cape Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) to organise the youth event in Colesberg on December 31, 2016, but the festival never took place.
