she agrees to the nomination;

three (3) contactable references; and
-Certified copies of the nominee Identity Document as well

No nomination will be considered unless all of the above are
included. Correspondence will only be entered into with shortlisted candidates.
The names of the nominees, including the dates, time and venue of the
interviews as well as the final list of appointed candidates will be published
on the websites of the National Arts Council and Department of Arts and Culture
to enable members of the public to participate in the appointment process as
required by the Act.

the rates prescribed by the National Treasury.

was appointed.
