Country: South Africa Name: ReCreateZA Description: ReCreateZA exists to promote the interests of South African creatives with regards to copyright legislation.

Moreover, we often do not own the work we create. And many of us have been disadvantaged by an exploitative system which fails to pay us for our work. Growing the digital economy requires innovation. South Africa is at a disadvantage to other countries with flexible copyright laws that support creativity.
