My main point however though is that I think South Africans are supporting the music industry more than ever!!

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was rtalking historically.

Since the quota system was introduced on radio 4 years ago, the South African public has been force-fed more local music. This is a good thing because people are more aware, and a bad thing because politics shouldn't extend to music.

That said, the general mindset does not change. People are only supporting the 'big bands' in SA, not the smaller ones, whereas here, there is always a buzz about the new small bands...
