Appendix 6 - International Music Council

of the Standards Generating Body (SGB) for Music, “We have just finished our fourth
Mappp-seta funded learnership in Sound Technology (3) and Technical Production (1).
These qualifications were developed by the SGB and we are currently finalising NQF
(note: National Qualifications Framework) 2 & 3”. Such initiatives can be seen as an
important link between the music education “side”, largely emphasised in this section,
and the industry “side”.
On the negative side, Mbiba notes that “The previous education system was so
suppressive to an extent that a lot of our cultural heritage, not only in music, would be
hard to be retrieved.” Nevertheless he is also of the opinion that “A lot of music is still
untapped”, but that lack of knowledge about the industry has also “impeded the flow of
information from creators, as to many people there is ‘nothing enticing’ about the
industry.”
