The Chamber of Commerce for Women in Business (CCWB) is a Rustenburgbased pioneer.

Established in 2020 and registered as an NPC in 2022, it is the newest chamber in the city and the first such organisation in the North West. A group of entrepreneurs came together to advocate and empower women of all colours. One of the goals of the chamber is to help disadvantaged women be integrated into the mainstream of business in order to improve their livelihoods.

More than 600 women in business are currently registered with CCWB. These members have access to networking sessions, SMME training and assistance with industry-related documentation. Over and above training seminars and workshops, CCWB also hosts gala dinners, luncheons and golf days.

Since its inception, the CCWB has been actively involved in acting as a voice of reason to be able to defend the rights of women-owned businesses, advocating policy reforms that foster inclusion of women entrepreneurs, and representing the voice of small and medium-sized enterprises. Meetings have been held with the major mining houses active in the area and memorandums of understanding have been signed.

We are a Proudly South African organisation, founded on the true spirit of equality, stakeholder partnerships and the understanding of various economic industries and the needs of emerging and established women in business. The CCWB is a registered NPC, POPIA-registered and affiliated to the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI). ■
