The size of the business or undertaking is not a determining factor for more or better service. The Business Chamber advocate and promote the free market economic system.
Die Thabazimbi Sakekamer is ‘n nie-politieke sake-organisasie wat al die vertakkinge van die sake-opset akkomommodeer. Sakekamerlede word almal op n gelyke vlak behandel. Die grootte van die besigheid of onderneming is nie ’n bepalende faktor vir meer of beter diens nie. Die Sakekamer bepleit en bevorder die vrye mark ekonomiese stelsel.

Focus on projects to promote Job creation in Thabazimbi

Doelstellings
Die Thabazimbi Sakekamer het in minder as ‘n jaar van dormante organisasie tot erkende rolspeler onder plaaslike strukture ontwikkel. As opkomende Sakekamer was ons doel om in jaar een ‘n goeie grondslag te lê wat oor 5-10 jaar lewensvatbare mylpale sou teweegbring. Die grondslag is gesetel in vier duidelike doelwitte / prioriteite wat na vele insette, inligting en voorstelle deur die meule gesit is om ons beskikbare tyd en hulpbronne maksimaal te kan aanwend.
Die doelwitte / prioriteite is:
Ontwikkel Toerisme as ‘n addisionele prioriteit ekonomiese sektor vir die Waterberg-omgewing om die ekonomies afhanklikheid van die mynbousektor te verminder.
Verseker voldoende munisipale infrastruktuurontwikkeling in Northam as groei-node in die Thabazimbi-distrik.
Fokus op projekte om Werkskepping in Thabazimbi te bevorder.
Verseker Sakekamervolhoubaarheid as enjin agter die gedefinieërde doelwitte en prioriteite
With over 130 approved business chamber members and representation on various local government and community forums (for example the Integrated Development Working Group, Tourism Forum, Suppliers Forum, Chairman Forum, etc.) where the Thabazimbi Business Chamber consistently provides input, we feel that the Thabazimbi Business Chamber got out of the starting blocks in a good way in our race to long-term sustainability.
Met meer as 130 goedgekeurde sakekamerlede en verteenwoordiging op verskeie plaaslike owerheid- en gemeenskapsforums (byvoorbeeld Geïntegreerde Ekonomiese Ontwikkelingswerkgroep, Toerisme Forum, Verskaffersforum, Voorsittersforum, ens.) waar die Thabazimbi Sakekamer deurgaans insette lewer, voel die Thabazimbi Sakekamer dat ons goed uit die wegspringblokke gekom het vir die wedloop na langtermynlewensvatbaarheid.
