SAMRO enters agreement to build strong institutions
In a progressive move that consolidates its commitment to building strong institutions within the arts, the South African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) has entered into a cooperation and support agreement with the Composers Association of South Africa (CASA), Music Managers Forum of South Africa (MMFSA) and the Academic and Non-Fiction Authors of South Africa (ANFASA).
"SAMRO believes in the development of strong arts industry organisations and consequently the growth of the creative industries sector, especially the music sector," said SAMRO CEO, Nick Motsatse. He said this will be accomplished under the banner of the SENA Stakeholder Hub, which is a SAMRO initiative aimed at contributing to institutional and leadership development in the arts by supporting the growth of viable and stable cultural and creative industry organisations.
The SENA Stakeholder Hub will facilitate a nurturing environment for a select group of emerging and established arts organisations by offering space and services at a nominal rate as well as institutional development support. This will in turn contribute to strengthening the South African music industry and more broadly the cultural landscape.
