North West Business 2023-24
The 2023/24 edition of North West Business marks the 12th publication of this highly successful journal that, since its launch in 2009, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the North West Province. Renewable energy is a huge global trend, and the impact this burgeoning sector is having on the North West can be seen in the development of several new solar farms which are under construction. The North West’s strong suit in platinum group metals (PGMs) already puts the province at the forefront of the drive towards a greener and renewable economy because of the applicability of so many of those minerals and metals for the cleaner energy movement. North West Business includes news and analysis of the most important sectors. Best known for its platinum mines, grain and livestock farming and tourism, the province is making a concerted effort to bolster its manufacturing capacity through a dedicated new strategy which includes trying to attract solar panel manufacturing to the province. To complement the extensive local, national and international distribution of the print edition, the full content can also be viewed online at www.globalafricanetwork.com. Updated information on the North West is also available through our monthly e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to at www.gan.co.za, in addition to our complementary business-to-business titles that cover all nine provinces, our flagship South African Business title and the new addition to our list of publications, Journal of African Business, which was launched in 2020.

Oratilwe Nameng, President of the CCWB<br />
The Chamber of Commerce for Women<br />
in <strong>Business</strong> (CCWB) is a Rustenburgbased<br />
pioneer.<br />
Established in 2020 and registered as an<br />
NPC in 2022, it is the newest chamber in the city<br />
and the first such organisation in the <strong>North</strong> <strong>West</strong>.<br />
A group of entrepreneurs came together to<br />
advocate and empower women of all colours.<br />
One of the goals of the chamber is to help<br />
disadvantaged women be integrated into the<br />
mainstream of business in order to improve<br />
their livelihoods.<br />
More than 600 women in business are<br />
currently registered with CCWB. These members<br />
have access to networking sessions, SMME<br />
training and assistance with industry-related<br />
documentation. Over and above training<br />
seminars and workshops, CCWB also hosts gala<br />
dinners, luncheons and golf days.<br />
Since its inception, the CCWB has been actively<br />
involved in acting as a voice of reason to be able<br />
to defend the rights of women-owned businesses,<br />
advocating policy reforms that foster inclusion<br />
of women entrepreneurs, and representing the<br />
voice of small and medium-sized enterprises.<br />
Meetings have been held with the major mining<br />
houses active in the area and memorandums of<br />
understanding have been signed.<br />
We are a Proudly South African organisation,<br />
founded on the true spirit of equality, stakeholder<br />
partnerships and the understanding of various<br />
economic industries and the needs of emerging<br />
and established women in business. The CCWB is<br />
a registered NPC, POPIA-registered and affiliated<br />
to the South African Chamber of Commerce and<br />
Industry (SACCI). ■<br />
