Southern Africa-Canada Chamber of Commerce
Chambre de commerce de l’Afrique australe et du Canada
The Southern Africa–Canada Chamber of Commerce (SACANCHAM) is a proactive, influential business organisation dedicated to promoting and developing business opportunities between Southern Africa, Canada and those to which the High Commission, Canada and the Trade Office, Canada have jurisdiction (Mauritius, Lesotho, Namibia, Madagascar, Zambia, Comoros and Seychelles).
Since the launch of SACANCHAM in June 2017 by the Patron, HE Sandra McCardell, High Commissioner, Canada, the Chamber has built an enviable reputation for arranging high-quality workshops and events that inform and often challenge attendees, in addition to offering quality networking sessions. Regular liaison and reciprocal visits with other international Chambers including Australia, Switzerland, Turkey, Nigeria and the UK offer our members wider business opportunities.
SACANCHAM continues to support the Chamber’s Mission Statement, namely ‘To attract an influential network of leading businesses that create value in a sustainable manner.’
LOCATION
SACANCHAM operates not only in South Africa, but also represents the business interests of Canadian companies throughout the SADC countries, including the mountain kingdom of Lesotho, the Indian Ocean financial hub of Mauritius, Namibia with two deserts and mineral wealth, and Madagascar, known for its unique ecological diversity. With all these countries, Canada shares historic ties through the Commonwealth and La Francophonie.
