In the current uncertainty and economic state, businesses become more and more affected by the different factors and adverse decisions made by the government which ultimately results in companies suffering and eventually closing down.
The Middelburg Chamber of Commerce & Industry held an economic business talk on 11 April 2018 at the Ridge Casino in Emalahleni. The event aimed to enlighten and educate business owners about how the financial trends affect businesses, although some of the factors are external and not much can be done about it. Isaac Matshego (an economist from Nedbank) shared valuable information about some of the critical elements that business owners should look out for, both negative and positive.
Highveld Steel used to be one of the businesses that contributed massively to the economy of Mpumalanga. We were fortunate that the Highveld Steel Business Park give an update on the recent developments on the site and how they plan to create jobs and business opportunities through the existing infrastructure.
We also had the representatives from the “Save Emalahleni” initiative who shared progress on the campaign which aims to address the issues that affect the Emalahleni local municipality.
The Middelburg Chamber would like to thank the sponsors, the Ridge Casino and their staff for the fantastic hospitality, our main speaker from Nedbank Isaac Matshego and all the people that contributed towards ensuring the success of the event.
