on 4 and 5 March, IKS took part in the Governing Boards for Arts Organisations for the Music Managers Forum of South Africa. In the master class, Moshito, the Composers Association of South Africa (CASA), the Academic and Non-Fiction Authors Association of South Africa also took part in what seemed like an arts organisation reunion.
