Direct Marketing Association of South Africa DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA (DMASA)
The Direct Marketing Association of South Africa (DMASA) has made tremendous progress in mobilising the industry after the dissolution of the MFSA. Initially falling under the MFSA structure, the DMA established itself as an independent body in November 2005 representing not only direct marketers, but with a focus on the consumer too. With the MFSA no longer in existence, it was evident that direct marketers required a body to both regulate and protect the industry. By re-establishing the Direct Marketing Association of South Africa, we aim to protect both the industry and consumers from unethical or ignorant practitioners, and lobby against adverse legislation from government and other regulatory bodies.
