The Chamber Legacy
#DurbanMustRise
The mandate of the Durban Chamber requires it to lobby and advocate on behalf of its members by addressing and identifying pertinent issues and forwarding them to appropriate forums in which business practitioners, through robust strategic engagements with stakeholders, drill down into issues and provide experience-based insights. A key and valuable strength of the Durban Chamber is constant engagement in its area and standing forums. These forums provide insight
Over many years, the discussions of member representatives in these forums have enabled the Chamber to make influential submissions regarding matters of current business concern and interest to local government and beyond at provincial and national levels. The Durban Chamber is a vibrant business organisation striving to meet and exceed the expectations of its members, whether they are micro or corporate businesses. The facilities of the Durban Chamber and its services are accessible by all employees of any member company. The Durban Chamber enjoys the respect and confidence of government at all levels thanks to its longevity and its record of 162 years of service to the Durban business community.
