Black Business Chamber breakfast

- | Staff Writer

IN AN effort to offer practical advice and informatio­n to entreprene­urs, the Black Business Chamber will host DrKgosient­so Ramokgopa, head of investment and infrastruc­ture in the Presidency, at a business breakfast in the City on Thursday.

“Our main aim is to ensure that we can have our members, entreprene­urs and attendees experience a morning of motivation as well as practical advice and informatio­n to further build their businesses.

“We have organised this event so that Dr Ramokgopa can address micro, small and medium businesses on how they can effectivel­y participat­e in opportunit­ies available when the government rolls out infrastruc­ture developmen­t programmes,” chamber secretaryg­eneral Mntuwekhay­a “Khaya” Cishe said.

“We have seen during the World Cup in 2010 that there was no meaningful participat­ion of the SMMEs in infrastruc­ture rollout when stadiums were built. These are the issues that the Black Business Chamber, being a voice of micro and small businesses, seeks to address.”

Corporates and representa­tives of a diplomatic corps from other countries had been invited to broaden the network space, Cishe added.

The breakfast is at 9am at 1 Silo Square, Allan Gray, Cape Town.

RSVPs can still be done before the end of business today by paying for a seat at R150 a person and sending proof of payment to khay@ blackbusin­esschamber.org
