Speaking at the COSBOTS Annual General Meeting in Gaborone on Saturday, Matebesi said the new sector ensures that writers and visual artists receive the recognition and compensation they deserve. He added that COSBOTS was looking forward to adding the audiovisual sector to their collection efforts, further broadening their support for the creative community. He further congratulated COSBOTS and the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) for laying a foundation for local creatives. "This year's hybrid event, connecting five towns shows our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring every voice is heard.
The role of a collective organisation like COSBOTS is pivotal in the creative industry. COSBOTS not only ensures that creatives receive fair compensation for their work but also advocates for their growth. By working together, this organisation and the government are creating a robust framework that supports our creative community. By partnering with the government of Botswana, COSBOTS has been a cornerstone in enhancing the royalty collection and its distribution. Our efforts have ensured that your hard work and creativity are rightfully compensated.
