The Randburg Chamber<br />
of Commerce and Industry<br />
PROFILE<br />
The Randburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry was created to effectively protect and<br />
promote the interests of business in the Randburg, Sandton and Midrand regions.<br />
The Randburg Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit<br />
organisation setup to represent the voice of local<br />
business in the Randburg, Sandton and Midrand<br />
suburbs of Johannesburg. Now in its 56th year, the<br />
Chamber is a formal institution that operates under a<br />
strong code of good business practice and operates<br />
under a constitution<br />
“Primarily we facilitate the introduction of relevant<br />
stakeholders to one another, as well as supporting<br />
and lobbying for local business interests. Basically,<br />
we make waves where required in order to improve<br />
the ways things happen and to ensure that any bad<br />
things that happen can be turned around into a<br />
positive situation for everyone involved,” says Linda<br />
Blackbeard, CEO of the Chamber.<br />
The Chamber also plays a role in terms of being a<br />
voice for general business issues, for instance where<br />
there are issues relating to the local municipality or<br />
even tax laws, or if there are problems that affect<br />
business such as interest rate hikes, issues around BEE<br />
implementation or relating to labour law changes.<br />
“Anything that affects business that they can’t sort<br />
out alone, they come to us and we support them by<br />
helping to give a voice to the business community<br />
and its needs,” adds Blackbeard.<br />
The chamber is affiliated to the South African<br />
Chamber of Commerce & Industry.<br />
