BOMU
The arts industry in Botswana has been growing by leaps and bounds. The Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) is an organisation founded to protect the rights of musicians.

In the past it was known for its annual awards ceremonies, but it has proved to be more than that. It has become a strong organisation that speaks for artists, especially on issues like piracy and recognition of artists as contributors to the country's economy.
