The Durban Chamber has been through significant changes in the past two years under the stewardship of
its President, Musa Makhunga. In 2018, the Durban Chamber formally registered as a Non-Profit Company (NPC).

Additionally, the organisation underwent major structural and operational changes to improve efficiencies and align processes with industry best practice to create an eco-system that is fully proficient to support
Durban’s business community.

“We are excited about the year ahead. It promises new challenges and opportunities. We have secured promising partnerships with key stakeholders to improve the ease of doing business, empower marginalised groups and facilitate enterprise development. Also coming up this year is a member benefits card, and a Durban Chamber web and mobile app to further underscore that we are indeed a future-focused technology-driven organisation.”

Makhunga says the commitment for 2019 is to work with corporates and government to drive programmes that are impactful and drive business sustainability.
