Research Projects
There were six research papers planned for the year. The outbreak of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020, adversely affected the planning and execution of the research projects during the financial year. COVID-19 restrictions and protocols meant that the normal conventional ways of gathering data and conducting interviews could not be followed. This had an impact on the turnaround time, in terms of obtaining information and finalising the research projects. Despite the
above-mentioned challenges, the business unit completed eight research projects during the year (these were Economic catalyst at a Municipal level Ugu District Municipality: a desktop study on the impact of COVID-19 on the film sector in KZN; research on the Film and TV analysis in quarter 2; KwaZulu-Natal Film Sector Baseline Study; an update on films shot in KZN; a collection of identified KwaZulu-Natal Legends and Historical Sites, KwaZulu-Natal Markets and Festivals Study and a study on Slate), two in excess of the planned target as Moses Kotane Institute (MKI) assisted
