The Founding Team

Nine directors.
One purpose.

Mantswe Music Collective is led by a volunteer board of nine founding directors, each bringing their own expertise and passion to the organisation. Together they govern, plan, and drive the mission forward.

"We are not a board that sits in meetings. We are practitioners who believe in what we are building and show up to build it."
