OUR TEAM
The Music Creators South Africa (MCSA) was guided by its founding board from 2022 to 2023, comprising creators and professionals in the music industry who laid the groundwork for the organisation's growth. The inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place on the 12th of April 2023, where additional board members were elected to join the leadership. The current MCSA board includes Thando Nyameni (Chairperson), Tshepo Nzimande (Treasurer), Manaileng Maphike (Secretary General), Vus`muzi Nhlapo (Deputy Chairperson), Rashid Lanie, Thulani Mbatha, and Tebogo Sedumedi. The board operates under a Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), which provides governance guidelines and allows the board to amend the MOI as necessary to better serve the organisation's members.
