Government ignores business
“This attitude is also putting a huge damper on the expansion of business in the Province and therefore hampers the creation of much needed jobs,” the chairman of the North West Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NWCOCI), Johan Oosthuizen, said in a statement earlier this week.
“It comes as a surprise that although National Government in the person of the President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and the Minister of Finance, Tito Mboweni, have urged Government at all levels to engage with business to look for ways to curb the rate of unemployment, the North West leaders are not willing to talk to organized business. This not only makes it difficult for businesses to grow and invest, but it also creates mistrust in Government,” he said.
The NWCoCI has some 6000 members and are affiliated to BUSA, SACCI and the SBI.
It also, from time to time, sit on committees of Nedlac where it gives input on issues of national importance.
“After a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) during May 2018, and notwithstanding an engagement with Pres Ramaphosa during 2017, many requests for meetings have been sent to members of the EXCO, but we do not even get replies on our letters or emails. The same happens with municipalities. We are business people trying to make an honest living and to grow our businesses and create more jobs, but if this is the attitude, in which we see no change happening, more businesses are going to close their doors and/or move to provinces where the Government is business friendly. We are currently meeting with two groups that would like to open factories in the North West, but when questioned about our relationship with Government at all levels in the Province, they are skeptical and are looking elsewhere,”
Oosthuizen said. “The NWPG has created the VTSD Chambers of Commerce and spent millions on this, but these Chambers, the ones
that are actually still functioning - of which there are very few - are turning to us for help now. We are a non-profit organization of volunteers and do not have the funds to help these Chambers. We can assist them with business ideas and how to run a well- functioning Chamber, but unfortunately to do that they want, we would need funding”, he said. He added that they have also offered their help in municipalities, but they had no takers. “We have people in our midst that can help where help is needed and it would not be necessary to get expensive consultants from outside the Province. The people are in our organization. We also have the NWU Business School as a corporate member with a wealth of expertise at hand,” he explained.
“In the past 8 months we had to turn away two very big investments from international companies which could have created some 2300 jobs, but again no interest from Government,” Oosthuizen said.
To get in contact with the North West Chamber of Commerce, call CEO André Coertzen on 082 492 6321 or send an email to [email protected].
