Introduction     –   Executive Summary   –   Message From Founder Chairman – The South African Chamber of Business – The Need For Leaders With Vision

It is a priviledge, honour and pleasure to prove this founding message for this Needs and Purpose Driven Business Chamber.  The timing could not be better to launch this platform for Socio-Economic Growth and Development with high levels of Crime : Grime : Inner-City Decay and Moral Decline.  South Africa is in Economic Recession.

There is a desperate need for Economic Certainty : Political Stability and Investor Confidence.  But there is even more need for a United Voice to Government that Demands Accountability and Batho Pele Service Delivery.

South Africa’s future wealth will be measured by:  Its Ideals : Its Justice : Its Faith : Its Standards : Its Quality of Daily Life and Its Education and Institutions – And Its Ability to Develop Its Arts : Literature : Science and Technology.  Our Country is Bankrupt on almost every level of this wealth indicator as we enter 2020.

There is a current need for the religious groups and civil society to embrace this challenge with an attitude that refused to fail.  We need colaboaration, co-operation and justice and this gateway has been created to establish mutually beneficial partnership and coalitions that provide a wide range of benefits and services to our members.  The primary aim is to build a sound foundation of product and service providers while building a vibrant economy in the Informal and SMME Sector at a Provincial and National Level.

As we enter the 4th Industrial Revolution the need for a knowledge economy cannot be disputed or denied and the silent moral majority needs to become proactive in this essential process for meaningful and sustainable change and transformation.

South Africa does not need a Religion Economy as this is clearly not the solution to the Poverty Pollution : Unemployment : Corruption and Crime as witnessed in the rest of the SADC – Southern African Development Community.  Religious and Traditional Leaders need to understand the difference between the Religion and Knowledge Economies in Africa.

As we begin this exciting journey of learning and discovery we will build Social : Racial and Cultural Cohesion on a Foundation of Unity : Integrity and Prosperity.  We will promote and protect Pro-Family : Pro-Moral : Pro-Law-Abiding and Pro-Life Values.  We will promote the need for Meritocracy – Capable Leaders – And Pragmatism – Best Practices – And Moral and Ethical Leadership and Management in the Government : Municipalities and All Positions of Public Trust.
