A music blackout looms for SABC as the SA Music Performance Rights Association takes the public broadcaster to court to compel it to pay needle-time royalties.

These include the music of award-winning artists such as singer-songwriter Donald, rapper Nasty C, DJ and music producer Black Coffee and Jerusalem hitmaker Master KG.

He added that Sampra represented more than 38 000 direct performing members and almost 6 000 direct record company members. Lishivha said this amounted to a large number of tracks played on SABC radio stations. “The lockdown has been detrimental for us, as we are not able to generate a single cent. But ironically, the SABC continues to play our tracks in order to make the public feel hopeful about the current state of affairs and to generate advertising revenue for themselves,” Mabuse said.

She added that the SABC cannot pay needletime royalties to any collecting society while a dispute on the percentage split between the two societies remains unresolved.
