Inhlangano Yemalungelo Emculo YaseNingizimu Afrika (SAMRO) iphinde yakhombisa kutinikela kwayo ekutfutfukiseni tinhlobo temculo taseNingizimu Afrika ngeSandziso Yayisikhwama Sekutfutfukisa Umculo (MCSF). Ngelilanga le-2 kuJulayi 2025, i-SAMRO yamemezela kutsi itfole timali letifika ku-R25,000 kubo bonkhe baculi bemculo labangu-120 ngaphansi kwemkhakha wa-2025 waloluhlobo lolusungulwe kabusha. Nyalo esekumnyaka wesine, i-MCSF iya emuva ekunikezeni kusekela lokubalulekile kwetimali kubaculi bemculo, kubavumela kutsi batfutfukise tinhlelo letintsha, batfole ema-albhamu, futsi baphakamise tinhlelo tabo kuma-level lamasha.
I-MCSF yakhelwe kucitfwa tinkinga tetimali letinengi letingatfwe ngabaculi bemculo baseNingizimu Afrika, ikakhulukati endzaweni lapho kusekela kwetimali temikhakha yobuciko kuhlala kungahambelani. Letimali tisekela tinhlelo letinyenti letifana neku-rekhoda e-studio, kutfutfukisa ema-video emculo, kanye netinhlelo temidlalo lebukwayo. Nyalo, labo labemukelwe ngema-grant bakhombisa umkhakha lomkhulu wemculo waseNingizimu Afrika, kufaka ekhatsi tinhlobo temculo letifana ne-jazz, i-hip-hop, i-Amapiano, kanye nemculo wesintfu. Phakatsi kwabo labemukelwe kukhona baculi labasafufusa njengaThandiwe Ndlovu, umculo wakhe locitfwe kabusha we-Afro-jazz kanye nemculo we-elektronikhi usetfola kucatsanisa, kanye nemculi wengcenyana Sipho Mabuza, losebenta kualbhamu yekusebenta kanye nebarhapha labasafufusa labavela eKapa.
Umphatsi loMkhulu we-SAMRO, Annabelle Markey, ugcizelele kutinikela kwenhlangano ekukhutsateni kutfutfuka. “I-MCSF imayelana nekunika baculi inkululeko yekuphupha kakhulu nekukhiqiza ngaphandle kwesibopho setinkinga tetimali,” usho ekumemezeleni kwetindzaba. Loluhlobo selusitfola umphumela lobonakalako: labo labemukelwe ngaphambilana basebentise letimali kutfumela emaculo latfola tindzaba, kutovakasha emhlabeni wonkhe, kantsi banye batfole kanye nemiklomelo ye-Grammy. Ngembala, umculi wemcashi we-2023 uLwazi Mthembu nge-albhamu yakhe etsi Echoes of the Ancestors watfola kucatseka lokubalulekile kanye nekukhetfwa kwe-Best African Music Performance e-Grammy ya-2024.
Ngaphandle kwekusekela kwetimali, i-MCSF iniketa tinhlelo temsebenti kanye nemathuba ekukhetfwa kwemisebenti, kuhlanganisa labo labemukelwe nabochwepheshe bemikhakha yekutfutfukisa umsebenti wabo kanye nekulawula umkhakha wekukhiqita umculo. Lendlela yekusebenta yonkhe yona inciphisa kutsi baculi bangakhiqizi nje umsebenti lomusha, kodvwa baphindze bakhe tinhlelo letitfutfukako. “Tinhlelo temsebenti tingisite kakhulu ekungicondziseni kutfumela kanye netimali letitfutfukako ngendlela lengingakayati ngaphambili,” kusho uNdlovu, losebenta enhlelweni yekutfola ilayisensi yemculo. Lokwati lokunjalo kubalulekile emkhakheni lapho baculi labanengi balwa nekusetjentiswa kabi ngenxa yekuntfuntfuka kwekutsiwati kwemalungelo abo.
Umkhakha wa-2025 uphinde ukhombise kutinikela kwe-SAMRO ekufaka bonkhe ekhatsi, ngetimali letinyenti letiniketwe basali kanye nabaculi labavela emiphakatsini lengakacatsaniswa kakhulu. Loku kuhambisana netinhloso temkhakha lonkhe, njengoba kubonwa etinhlelweni letifana ne-Leading Vibe Initiative ya-Tems, leyonkhe isekela basali labasafufusa emculweni e-Afrika yonkhe. Tinhloso te-SAMRO tisita ekulungiseni indzawo yekudlala, kuqinisekisa kutsi emalimi lasikhe sikhona atfwe naka ngenhla ngenhla kwe-live lelitfutfukako.
Njengoba umkhakha wemculo waseNingizimu Afrika uya emuva ekutfola kucatseka kwemhlaba wonkhe, tinhlelo letifana ne-MCSF tibalulekile ekuchubekiseni lokushukumisa. Ngekucinisa baculi kutsi bakhiqize kanye nekutfutfukisa, i-SAMRO ayisiyo yona leyonkhe isekela tinhlelo temntfwana kodvwa iphinde yanciphisa umkhakha wesintfu wesive. Labo labemukelwe ngo-2025 kulindzeleke kutsi batfole tinhlelo tabo etinyangeni letitako, betfusa sikhatsi semisindvo lemisha letitawucinisa kakhulu indzawo yaseNingizimu Afrika esigabeni semculo wemhlaba wonkhe.
