More than 80% of SAMRO’s members (largely songwriters <strong>and</strong> composers) receive less than R5 000 a year inroyalty fees arising from public performance rights. With regard to needletime rights, performers have notreceived royalties since the legislation was passed in 2002. This is due to disputes between the various parties<strong>and</strong> defects in the legislation. This situation is unsustainable <strong>and</strong> unacceptable.13.1.2. A variety of actions need to be taken by different parties at various levels. However, it does not help to have aproject plan with no project managers or to implement a project without the appropriate monitoring systems.13.1.3. It is important to consider that the MITT was established in 2000 to review <strong>and</strong> make recommendations as tohow to improve the lives of the musicians. Ten years later, a significant percentage of the MITTrecommendations have not been implemented <strong>and</strong> most are being recommended again by the CRC. It lookslike the problem could rest with the implementation <strong>and</strong> monitoring processes rather than with the lack ofawareness of solutions.13.1.4. In Table 27, the CRC lists key government role players capable of leading the transformation of the local musicindustry.- 90 -
