From the article:
"Intrinsic and social values have long been recognised as important parts of the value of the cultural and creative sector. Cultural policy in post-apartheid SA focused on diversity and redress, with cultural value being seen as primarily intrinsic and social. But in a post-industrial age there has been broad acknowledgment that the cultural and creative sectors also have a role to play in building the economy and creating jobs."
