Without reliable information, including statistics and industry intelligence tools, music creators will always struggle to make informed decisions and to fully monetise their works. Responding to this challenge, the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) launched the pilot phase of the Revenue Streams for African Musicians (RSFAM) project in South Africa in 2020.
The main goal of this report is to highlight the revenue streams that work for music creators in South Africa. We hope that this report will be useful in guiding music creators and the industry at large to make informed decisions, adopt new revenue streams, expand earning capacities and become more self-sustainable. The overview below is intended to give you an idea of what is in the report. Please download the attached PDF for the full report. The report is presented in South African Rands and US Dollars.
