 In a progressive move that consolidates its commitment to building strong institutions within the Arts, SAMRO has entered into a cooperation and support agreement with Composers Association of South Africa (CASA), Music Managers Forum of South Africa (MMFSA) and 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 on the auspicious occasion of signing the Agreements. 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.
