207–262 complete article headline/date/body and direct replies, excluding webpage menus/ads/poll; images/music/whitepaper not viewed. SAMRO registrationrequirement reported, exact spokesperson unnamed.
TechCentral’s 19 October 2026 interviews distinguish AI disclosure from copyright/royalty eligibility and membership from work approval. SABC’s Mmoni Ngubane describes an editorial approach, not final policy; producer Justin Erasmus distinguishes membership from registration and advocates process transparency. Edited responses evidence positions, not verified registration rules or commencement; forms/notices/recordings absent. No 5FM response is not rejection or AI discrimination; membership does not approve all works. First-album, catalogue, output, licensing, chart and legal claims remain unverified. Music and white paper unreviewed; no general emotional-capacity finding. No historical capture.
