Purpose & people

Built around business. Grounded in Mafube.

A proposed independent, member-governed Chamber connecting a shared business voice with practical enterprise development.

The founding proposal

An institution to build together.

Business owners gathering around shared priorities

Where things stand

The Mafube Chamber Visual Presentation of 14 November 2026 sets out a founding proposal and enterprise delivery model. Adoption, founding particulars and incorporation as a non-profit company remained outstanding in that presentation.

This website invites applications of interest and support priorities. It does not claim that incorporation, funding or programme delivery has been confirmed. The Chamber is not a municipal government agency.

Two mandates, connected

Advocacy addresses shared business issues. Business enablement works through Capital, Capability and Markets, with a named owner, accepted next action and review date for each case.

Following through from the Summit

The proposal provides a structure for carrying business priorities from Summit discussion into decisions and follow-through. It is a proposed delivery model, not evidence that programmes or partner commitments are already in place.

Draft member governance

Equal voices.
Clear accountability.

Each voting member has one equal vote. The draft proposes six elected directors: four town seats and two at-large seats. All voting members elect all six directors.

The Board appoints the Chair, Deputy and Treasurer. Up to two experts may be co-opted, alongside three committees: advocacy; enablement; and finance and risk.

Draft initial joining and annual fees are R0. Future fees would require prescribed approval. No fee is collected on this website.

These arrangements remain proposals subject to adoption; submitting an application is not automatic membership admission.

A four-town scope

Local representation, without leaving anyone behind.

Frankfort / Namahadi · Villiers / Qalabotjha · Cornelia / Ntswanatsatsi · Tweeling / Mafahlaneng

The proposed town seats keep local priorities visible while all voting members take part in electing the full Board.
