We are aware of a social media post circulated by Punkie Mokoena, criticizing Bakubung Arts Projects and its immediate director of developments regarding the film Phekolo. The post alleges misconduct and exploitation during the production process.
As an organization, we wish to emphasize that we are reserving our comment on this platform. Our values remain rooted in creativity, empowerment, and sustainability, and we will not engage in public disputes that risk undermining the integrity of the arts sector.
We acknowledge the concerns raised and assure all stakeholders that the matter is being addressed through the appropriate internal and legal channels. It is important to note that speculation on social media does not reflect the full context of the project, nor the contractual obligations agreed upon by the parties involved.
Bakubung Arts Projects remains committed to transparency, fairness, and the growth of the creative industry. We encourage artists and collaborators to rely on formal communication rather than unverified online claims.
