About the Zululand Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The ZCCI is a membership driven, non-profit organisation which aims to foster an environment conducive to the development and growth of business.

Through the ZCCI a myriad of services are available to the Zululand business community and the general public. Members of the Chamber have the most to gain from the services of the organisation which provides a platform through which they can raise concerns and address issues that affect local business.

The ZCCI also facilitates and manages a broad spectrum of development initiatives in conjunction with the Zululand Chamber of Business Foundation (ZCBF). The primary focus of the ZCCI in the last two years has been on the creation of employment opportunities and to this end a working relationship, has been established with local government and the IDZ to assist in attracting both local and foreign investment to the region.

History of the Zululand Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The Zululand Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded in 1926 as the Zululand Chamber of Commerce. It evolved over the years and changed with the times. In the late 1980’s, when floods devastated the region, the local business community, through the Chamber, contributed towards the establishment of the Rural Foundation to assist the victims of the disaster.

In 1992 the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Industry merged and became the Chamber of Business (ZCB) In the mid 1990’s, the Rural Foundation became the Zululand Chamber of Business Foundation (ZCBF). Together, the ZCB and the ZCBF established the Business Development Centre. Business Against Crime Zululand was also established as a result of an initiative of the Chamber in response to community and business needs.

On 23 April 2008 a special resolution was passed to change the name to Zululand Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
