Nascam Board Vows to Boost Royalties
The Namibian Society of Composers and Authors of Music (Nascam) has appointed a new board with a mandate to increase royalty collections and reduce administrative overhead. The board aims to improve financial transparency and support for local artists.
Why it matters
Effective royalty management is critical for the sustainability of the creative arts industry and ensuring fair compensation for musicians.
The newly confirmed board of the Namibian Society of Composers and Authors of Music (Nascam) has outlined plans to boost royalty collections, cut administrative costs and improve governance over the next three years.
This comes after members endorsed the former interim leadership to serve a full three-year term.
Joseph Ailonga was confirmed as board chairperson at the society’s annual general meeting, alongside vice chairperson Shinana Nghixulifwa and board members Martin Morocky, popularly known as King Tee Dee, Ripuree Katamila, Bertholdt Mbinda, Gertrude Brandt and Steven Naruseb.
Patricia Ochurus and Janice Mumbangala were appointed as advisory, non-voting members to support leadership continuity.
Ailonga says the organisation would focus on improving its financial position while delivering greater value to members.
