ness with integrity and it is legal, we will support you<br />
and try to help you wherever we can. Our members<br />
are from all business and industry sectors.<br />
Would it be correct to say that the area covered<br />
by the RCCI has some of the country’s<br />
most dynamic businesses?<br />
The areas we cover form the economic powerhouse<br />
of South Africa. I cannot stress strongly enough that<br />
the actual business hub of Sandton alone is responsible<br />
for decision-making (on signing powers and<br />
approval) of a large number of business transactions<br />
taking place across the country.<br />
Are there particular challenges?<br />
There are challenges. Randburg Chamber, which is<br />
59 years old in <strong>2018</strong>, is still not as actively supported<br />
as it could be. Our biggest battle is to create the<br />
awareness of where we are and what we can do for<br />
business. The more businesses stand together with<br />
their local Chamber of Commerce, the stronger our<br />
voice will be at municipal, provincial and government<br />
level. The way of doing business has changed and the<br />
Chamber is moving with the times. As a facilitator for<br />
you the business owner, we can with our new Silver<br />
Lining project open doors for you that you would not<br />
get through alone, connecting you and engaging<br />
on platforms that bring service to the businesses. By<br />
that I mean: are we sitting on the right committees?<br />
INTERVIEW<br />
Are we connected to the right people at the City of<br />
Johannesburg? Are we dealing at the right levels of<br />
government? Do we have the correct connectivity<br />
to be able to assist you in the areas of your need?<br />
These are questions we continually ask to improve<br />
our offering. Most of all it’s the members who need<br />
to dictate the integrity of our benefits list and not the<br />
people sitting in the chambers. The businesses out<br />
there need to tell us what their needs are. This way<br />
we can provide a better service for them.<br />
What does the future hold?<br />
With all the amazing initiatives planned and in the<br />
process of actioning - including our unique digital<br />
custom-designed Certificate of Origin programme<br />
for export. <strong>Business</strong>es and members can look forward<br />
to renewed focus, positive opportunities, and facilitation<br />
in the SADC region for business growth and<br />
opportunity. We are also proposing a name change<br />
to incorporate the very large area we now service.<br />
