No Relief Benefits For Non COSBOTS Members

Monday, May 25, 2020

Artists trying to rush and register with Copyright Society of Botswana (COSBOTS) will not benefit from relief allowances to be given to its members, it has been revealed.

Relief allowances amounting to P2, 500 would be paid to artists registered with COSBOTS, but no one will be allowed to rush and register their membership just in time to benefit from the arrangement.

The Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development (MYSC) recently announced that it would provide relief for a period of three months being April, May and June 2020, therefore a Motswana registered with COSBOTS will get P7, 500 in total.
