The Writers Guild of South Africa (WGSA) was established on 8 May 2009. It replaces SASWA, the South African Scriptwriters Association, and remains the only association in South Africa with the sole purpose of protecting, empowering and developing performance writers in the local film, television, radio, stage, animation and new media (internet – mobile and digital distribution, and gaming) industries.. The Guild also serves as a Collection Agent for writers’ residuals and manages an affordable local Script Registry. WGSA is an affiliate member of the International Association of Writers Guilds (IAWG).
WGSA’s Mission Statement: “To protect, empower and develop performance writers in the local film, television, radio, stage, animation and new media (internet – mobile and digital distribution, and gaming) industries by end December 2015 or sooner.”
WGSA’s Vision: “A self-sustainable and united guild representing the collective interests of ALL performance writers in the local film, television, radio, stage, animation and new media (internet – mobile and digital distribution, and gaming) industries.”
