Mandate Role 9 Constitutional Mandate The mandate of the SA State Theatre is derived directly from the legislative mandate of the Department of Arts and Culture which in turn comes from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act, Legislative Mandate As a Cultural Institution we are established under the auspices of the Department of Arts & Culture and are then bound by the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA) as well as other applicable legislation. Policy Mandate The SAST has aligned its legislative mandate to the Department of Art and Culture’s drivers, outcomes and/or outputs.
