The Chamber movement is 400 years old, originating in France. Our Chamber is aligned with the structured National Chamber movement which is Sacci. Being aligned to Sacci means being motivated by the advancement of broader business interests and not self-interest. Sacci is also the Secretariat for the International Chambers of Commerce (ICC) in South Africa. Sacci is on the board of Busa and Nedlac. With our Chamber belonging to Sacci you have access to all the same information as the major conglomerates, at a fraction of the cost, our fees starting at R2,000,00 per annum which is a massive saving.
