#InTheNews: HYPE Academy: Let’s talk all things SAMRO with Karabo Senna General Manager of Sales and Licensing 'The simplest way to look at SAMRO is that we collect royalties. When music is created, there are two types of individuals identified. The first individual is the individual who creates the beat. They are called the composers. The individuals who write the lyrics are called the authors. SAMRO is made for those individuals.' To read more, please go to: hypemagazine.co.za/2026/10/0…

At the @channelotv YOE Creative Hub, we caught up with @nikilitha_mantungwa of Kopton Music, who shared her own perspective on music publishing and its importance in the music business.
