The newly formed SOUTH AFRICAN UNITED CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES FEDERATION (SAUCCIF) hosted their first AGM this week and elected an interim steering committee
The Federation was launched in October 2020 to be an umbrella body, comprising of some of the organisations and private companies that united after the national march that took place in August this year, due to the financial crisis effecting the Cultural and Creative Industries. It is the first CCI Membership-based federation with affiliates.
Says newly elected president of the federation Sibongile Mngoma “The formation of SAUCCIF, as the first federation that is founded by artists organisations by themselves for themselves, is a win for the Cultural and Creative Industries. It's the dawn of a new era”.
