We are dedicated to maintaining a favourable business climate, safeguarding the interests of our members and working together to improve the economic, civic, and cultural well-being of the area.
The West Coast Business Chamber (Weskus Sakekamer) acts as a collective voice for the local business community, working to create a supportive and sustainable business environment. Through collaboration with local authorities, community organisations, and private enterprises, the Chamber aims to strengthen economic growth across the West Coast region of South Africa.
Representing more than 150 businesses in and around the West Coast, the Chamber provides a platform for networking, advocacy, and shared opportunities. It operates as a non-profit organisation, funded through membership contributions and the voluntary involvement of its members.
Each year, at the Annual General Meeting, members elect a Management Committee consisting of 5–8 representatives who oversee the Chamber’s operations for a one-year term. Where necessary, additional members may be co-opted to assist with specific portfolios. To guide its initiatives, the Committee implements an annual strategic plan aligned with the needs of the local business community.
