To ensure that SATSA’s benefits reach far and wide, several cost-effective membership options, depending on annual turnover, are available. We also offer several partnership opportunities.
As an egalitarian body, each paying member's vote has the same impact regardless of membership level.
Membership is automatically renewed yearly unless the member submits a Member Resignation Form to voluntarily suspend or resign their membership.
Member Levels and Fees (incl. VAT)
Membership runs from 1 January to 31 December each year, and new members joining in the year will be charged pro-rata for the remainder of the period.
