Yo, if you wanna hook up protection, you can join SAMRO, in johannesburg, join as a member it´s free of charge, they will only consider you for a member when your music starts gettin airplay and shit, but at least your tunes will be protected via SAMRO of course. Publishing companies in SA will only consider you if you are shit hot and commercially viable. But you can start your own CC (Close Corporation) and use that as your dummy publishing company to put your own shit out,
