SACCI MEMBER PROFILE Wesvaal Chamber of Business A forum for understanding and a channel for business leadership. Kgotso Mmadi, President of Wesvaal Chamber of Business The Wesvaal Chamber of Business is a registered non-profit organisation, situated in Klerksdorp, North West. WCOB is a unique regional business organisation and a steadfast rallying point for those who believe, like our founders, that strengthening commercial ties among businesses is not only good for business but good for global living standards and good for peace. To that end, WCOB provides a forum for businesses and other organisations to examine and better comprehend the nature and significance of the major shifts taking place in the world economy. We also offer an influential and respected channel for supplying business leadership to help governments manage those shifts in a collaborative manner for the benefit of the city’s economy. While policy advocacy is a major part of WCOB work, everything else we do is also devoted to promoting regional trade and investment. Indeed, much of our work is of a very practical nature, focussed on making it easier for business to operate within the City of Matlosana. We remain convinced that the core values that led to the creation of WCOB over 123 years ago are as relevant today as they were then. Those values will continue to provide a compass for our efforts on behalf of business. Six core priority focus areas • Lobby • Advocate • Championing • Civil society coalition • Persuasion • Pressure Board composition The members of the Wesvaal Business Chamber Board are led by Kgotso Mmadi as President. Ben Mosala serves as Deputy President. Mrs Dorette Bosman, as Secretary, and Mr Daddy Khuselo both serve as independent non-executive board members.The board gives strategic direction in achieving the mission of influencing the factors and key stakeholders that create a competitive enabling business environment for our members.
