Who we are & What we do

The British Chamber of Business in Southern Africa is a powerful business-to-business network with strong working links to UK government and in particular to the UK Dept of International Trade. We are affiliated to the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) umbrella organisation in the UK, and part of the BCC’s Global Business Network. We work closely with the South African Chamber of Commerce in the UK.
With over 100 corporate members, the Chamber is led by President, Ms Tshepo Ncube, proudly bringing over 22 years of financial services experience, having worked in Corporate Banking Roles for both South African and International Banks.
From our Johannesburg headquarters and Cape Town office we provide members with a platform for networking, lobbying and learning alongside a broad spectrum of British and South African businesses.
We also offer bespoke business support services including market entry introductions, visit programme coordination (UK and South Africa) and more.
