Music Publishers’ Association of South Africa (MPA SA)

The Music Publishers’ Association of South Africa (MPA SA) is an industry association representing music publishers in South Africa. The association exists to safeguard and promote the interests of music publishers and the writers signed to them; to represent these interests to government, the music industry, the media and the public;
to provide publishers with a forum, a collective voice and a wide range of benefits and services; promote an understanding of the value of music and the importance of copyright; and to provide information and guidance to members of the public.

MPA SA was formerly known as the National Organisation for Reproduction Rights in Music in Southern Africa (NORM). Since the establishment of the Composers Authors & Publishers Association (CAPASSO) in 2014, NORM stopped administering mechanical rights, instead focusing on publishing, which led to the change in name.
