South Africa, June 2 -- Effective 27 May 2025, the rebrand is more than a visual refresh - it marks a deeper alignment with the global vision of Downtown Music Publishing, an enterprise that administers rights for creators across 145 countries. Its global expertise is now firmly rooted in Africa.

"This is a transformational moment, not only for us but for music rights management on the continent," says Thando Makhunga, managing director of Downtown Music Publishing Africa.

Founded in 1996, Sheer Publishing Africa has championed creators across genres - from Amapiano to Afro-Jazz, Kwaito to Hip-Hop. Over time, it has built an esteemed catalogue of South African compositions and international titles.
