“If we can centralise all our services and suppliers, we will all benefit from upgraded infrastructure such as roads, alternative electrical sources, such as solar and hydrogen cycled power, and security.”Plans for developing a business hub in Rosslyn will help alleviate poverty in his ward, a local councillor believes.
“We are busy with plans to develop Rosslyn’s motor industry and the initiative behind it to create employment and boost the local economy, ” said ANC councillor of ward 37, Saki Stohla.
“We are looking at the possibility to build a mall, a hospital, and a harbour for big trucks. Trucks will not have to park along the road anymore.

Stohla said to ease the traffic, the roads in the area will be improved.
“Plans also include a changing spot for trucks on the N4.”
Plans to develop Rosslyn as a world-class industrial hub, which has been in the pipeline for the past five years or so, are gaining momentum.
GrowSA is an NPO that facilitates economic growth and enterprise development within various business sectors operating in the country.
“It focuses on economic sectors with the potential to affect economic growth by increasing the productivity of the companies per sector, by driving innovation, stimulating new businesses and creating opportunities for micro, or small business, to grow by becoming part of the supply chain environment of large businesses,” said Zenobia Lock du Plessis, chairperson and spokesperson of GrowSA in Rosslyn.
“It serves as a platform where businesses, government and the community can liaise and strategise together in taking our economy to the next level,” she said.
Lock du Plessis said GrowSA is specifically aimed at creating platforms on local, provincial, national and regional levels where interaction, strategic planning and project implementation will be facilitated.
“The phenomenal work in Rosslyn was driven in conjunction with Capital City Businesses Chamber (CCBC).”
Fanie du Plessis, a spokesperson and CEO of the CCBC, said role players met two weeks ago in Rosslyn and agreed to the establishment of the Rosslyn Improvement District as an interactive platform to steer the development of Rosslyn into becoming a world-class industrial hub.
“This decision was based on the work session held at the Automotive Industrial Development Centre (AIDC) in collaboration with CCBC, local government and prominent role players from businesses such as BMW, Nissan SA, Nampak and several others.
“Keen notice was taken of the recent visible changes on grass-cutting and cleaning as well as fixing of potholes within the area.”
He said exciting new developments will include the establishment of a satellite security hub and control room from where monitoring and rapid response will be co-ordinated among businesses, the TMPD and local police.
“Specific focus will also be placed on the establishment of an alternative green energy solution among all role players to not only address the stability of electricity supply, but to also work towards a zero-carbon footprint for the area.”

MD of ZF Lemförder South Africa (Pty) Ltd, Ian Myburgh, said the motor production industry is one of the biggest industries in the country, “and what we need is a world-class showpiece that overseas investors can visit for us to attract their investments”.
“We manufacture motor vehicle parts and have two factories, one in Rosslyn, and one in East London. We supply Mercedes Benz, BMW, Nissan and Ford, among other suppliers based in Ga-Rankuwa and Silverton. Rosslyn has a lot of potential because of its location being so central.

“If we can centralise all our services and suppliers, we will all benefit from upgraded infrastructure such as roads, alternative electrical sources, such as solar and hydrogen-cycled power and security.”
He said the more services and suppliers concentrate in one area, the stronger the area becomes.
“We will all benefit from the said development and I look forward to a world-class work environment in a pleasant, beautified area.”

CAPITAL CITY BUSINESS CHAMBER (CCBC)
Established in 2008, the Capital City Business Chamber (CCBC) is a recognized Chamber of Commerce working for the success of the Business Community in the Capital City (Pretoria/Tshwane).
Our slogan – “Your Business, Our Priority” – clearly defines our pride in addressing the needs of all sizes of business, be it a Small-, Medium-, Large- or Corporate Business with focus on the following:
- a. Creating a Marketing and Networking Environment
- b. A Source of Information & Support to Business c. Creating Opportunities for All.
CCBC PROJECTS
These past two years, the challenges due to the Pandemic and accompanying lockdown, has resulted in economic decline that has negatively impacted the business community and the employment in Tshwane and the Country. Working within our three (3) Focus areas, the CCBC developed various initiatives to assist to mitigate the impact experienced.
1. “BUILDING THE CAPITAL”
A model creating a structured platform for collaboration between Government and Captains of Industry, based on the following three pillars:
• Knowing the Capital - creating a Business Eco-system of all businesses operating within the City; identifying and understanding the needs of business per industry; determining opportunities for growth; promoting local by putting “Tshwane First” and saluting our City’s uniqueness and success stories;
• Investing in the Capital - Unlocking of Business opportunities per Industry; Create an environment conducive for business; Drive economic recovery strategies such as “Made in Tshwane” to promote localisation; Create visible change via “Adopt a Spot”; “Establishing of City Improvement Districts and be ready to accommodate new investors; and
• Creating opportunities for all citizens within the Capital - Create a Sustainable Development Model inclusive of Agri- and Construction Hubs; Promote Capital City events such as the Tshwane Trade & Investment Summit, the African Capital Cities Sustainability Forum and Capitalize on the existing “Landmark Calendar”.
“Building the Capital” as model has been endorsed by the Executive Mayor, who also made it clear that this initiative must be continuous (regardless of political changes). Where Implementation be driven via:
- “CitiBiz” - a structured platform inclusive of City Leadership and Captains of Industry to be facilitated by the CCBC through -
- specific Workstreams which fall in line with the three (3) Pillars of “Building the Capital” strategy and
- which also links into the “Made in Tshwane” strategy.
2. “MADE IN TSHWANE”
This initiative builds on the Business4SA National effort by focusing on the local manufacturing value chain, i.e.: a “Localization Strategy to Increase manufacturing within the City of Tshwane” by influencing existing supply chains and getting rid of stumbling blocks.
In support of this strategy a comprehensive and updated database of manufacturers per sector within the 7 Regions of Tshwane is being conducted. The outcome will include an accurate outline per business/manufacturer of:
a. The nature,
b. Location (Industrial areas/parks),
c. Goods and services,
d. Import and export profile, as well as
e. Opportunities for localisation.
With desired outcomes of:
• Increased levels of investment into the manufacturing value chain
• Increase enterprise development and employment opportunities
• Increased competitiveness for local manufacturers
• Increased exports
• Increased economic growth and development.
The initiative includes relevant Key Partners:
• City of Tshwane Department of Economic Development and Spatial Planning
• Tshwane Economic Development Agency
• DTIC & GDED
• Productivity SA
• Tshwane Business Forum (TBF) as collective of various Business Formations in the City
• Financial Institutions (Standard Bank, etc) as enablers
• Government funding agencies
• PwC in an advisory capacity
• Service Industry Strategic Partners, e.g.: Insurance; Business Services; etc.
• Other parties that may be consulted as per demand by the situation (Labour, Local Community, Proudly SA, etc).
3. CARBON NEUTRAL ENERGY DRIVE
Sustainable energy is one of the primary drivers of business competitiveness, as energy insecurity and interruptions has a destructive consequence on business and economic viability.
As has become internationally recognized, sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective energy can only be achieved via the transition of Fossil fuel base to renewable generation technologies. This is essential for business to have a competitive financial advantage and ensure continuity in operation.
The CCBC works together with all relevant Stakeholders, inclusive of government, corporate and industrial business, in facilitating the development of a platform(s) that will drive strategies towards the implementation of a Carbon Neutral business environment. This will also assist in managing the destructive effect that energy price volatility and supply interruption has on the business community.
4. CCBC PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FORUM (PDF)
Established in collaboration with the City Of Tshwane Department of Economic Development and Spatial Planning. The collaboration is supported by a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by the City Manager and with the primary objectives:
• To develop and advance collaborative dialogue with the City of Tshwane in an atmosphere of mutual respect to address and solve institutional and procedural challenges to unlock and unblock property development opportunities and expedite the implementation thereof;
• To act as the primary spokesperson on behalf of partaking property developers and related role players in relation to property development matters;
• To improve the investment attractiveness of Tshwane and to stimulate economic growth and socio-economic development;
• To retain investment and position Tshwane competitively despite the ever-changing economic climate and legislative environment;
• To participate in all decision-making and other processes that affect the general interests of property developers and related role players in Tshwane.
• To initiate the development of a formal entity to drive Catalytic Projects and ultimately property development within the Capital City – inclusive of property developers, landlords, property management, etc..
5. CITIONLINE E-COMMERCE MALL:
To further assist with supporting Business to remain profitable and sustainable, the CCBC looked at different ways of engaging business with one another. As such, we have created a virtual E-commerce Mall for businesses within the Capital City to know, connect and do business with one another inclusive of:
• A Personalized layout of your own virtual shop/office inclusive of company logo; business profile; corporate marketing video; brochures & catalogues
• Own Ecommerce / Check-out function - Promote electronic transactions to the public/clients in buying directly from your virtual shop/office;
• Direct Sales - Become part of ongoing Exhibitions, Conferences and Webinars inclusive of great Networking opportunities at our interactive Friday Bizz Networks;
• Branding & Marketing - Promote your business by including the link to your virtual shop/office in all marketing material.
6. ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT
The most exciting part is that the CCBC collaborates with the GrowSA Foundation Trust as Enterprise Development platform to facilitate the effective spend of CSI-funding on sustainable enterprise development. Contributing companies qualify for the relevant BEE-certificates as well as tax benefits stipulated in Section 30C of the Act.

CAPITAL CITY BUSINESS CHAMBER (CCBC)
Established in 2008, the Capital City Business Chamber (CCBC) is a recognized Chamber of Commerce working for the success of the Business Community in the Capital City (Pretoria/Tshwane).
Our slogan – “Your Business, Our Priority” – clearly defines our pride in addressing the needs of all sizes of business, be it a Small-, Medium-, Large- or Corporate Business with focus on the following:
- a. Creating a Marketing and Networking Environment
- b. A Source of Information & Support to Business c. Creating Opportunities for All.
CCBC PROJECTS
These past two years, the challenges due to the Pandemic and accompanying lockdown, has resulted in economic decline that has negatively impacted the business community and the employment in Tshwane and the Country. Working within our three (3) Focus areas, the CCBC developed various initiatives to assist to mitigate the impact experienced.
1. “BUILDING THE CAPITAL”
A model creating a structured platform for collaboration between Government and Captains of Industry, based on the following three pillars:
• Knowing the Capital - creating a Business Eco-system of all businesses operating within the City; identifying and understanding the needs of business per industry; determining opportunities for growth; promoting local by putting “Tshwane First” and saluting our City’s uniqueness and success stories;
• Investing in the Capital - Unlocking of Business opportunities per Industry; Create an environment conducive for business; Drive economic recovery strategies such as “Made in Tshwane” to promote localisation; Create visible change via “Adopt a Spot”; “Establishing of City Improvement Districts and be ready to accommodate new investors; and
• Creating opportunities for all citizens within the Capital - Create a Sustainable Development Model inclusive of Agri- and Construction Hubs; Promote Capital City events such as the Tshwane Trade & Investment Summit, the African Capital Cities Sustainability Forum and Capitalize on the existing “Landmark Calendar”.
“Building the Capital” as model has been endorsed by the Executive Mayor, who also made it clear that this initiative must be continuous (regardless of political changes). Where Implementation be driven via:
- “CitiBiz” - a structured platform inclusive of City Leadership and Captains of Industry to be facilitated by the CCBC through -
- specific Workstreams which fall in line with the three (3) Pillars of “Building the Capital” strategy and
- which also links into the “Made in Tshwane” strategy.
2. “MADE IN TSHWANE”
This initiative builds on the Business4SA National effort by focusing on the local manufacturing value chain, i.e.: a “Localization Strategy to Increase manufacturing within the City of Tshwane” by influencing existing supply chains and getting rid of stumbling blocks.
In support of this strategy a comprehensive and updated database of manufacturers per sector within the 7 Regions of Tshwane is being conducted. The outcome will include an accurate outline per business/manufacturer of:
a. The nature,
b. Location (Industrial areas/parks),
c. Goods and services,
d. Import and export profile, as well as
e. Opportunities for localisation.
With desired outcomes of:
• Increased levels of investment into the manufacturing value chain
• Increase enterprise development and employment opportunities
• Increased competitiveness for local manufacturers
• Increased exports
• Increased economic growth and development.
The initiative includes relevant Key Partners:
• City of Tshwane Department of Economic Development and Spatial Planning
• Tshwane Economic Development Agency
• DTIC & GDED
• Productivity SA
• Tshwane Business Forum (TBF) as collective of various Business Formations in the City
• Financial Institutions (Standard Bank, etc) as enablers
• Government funding agencies
• PwC in an advisory capacity
• Service Industry Strategic Partners, e.g.: Insurance; Business Services; etc.
• Other parties that may be consulted as per demand by the situation (Labour, Local Community, Proudly SA, etc).
3. CARBON NEUTRAL ENERGY DRIVE
Sustainable energy is one of the primary drivers of business competitiveness, as energy insecurity and interruptions has a destructive consequence on business and economic viability.
As has become internationally recognized, sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective energy can only be achieved via the transition of Fossil fuel base to renewable generation technologies. This is essential for business to have a competitive financial advantage and ensure continuity in operation.
The CCBC works together with all relevant Stakeholders, inclusive of government, corporate and industrial business, in facilitating the development of a platform(s) that will drive strategies towards the implementation of a Carbon Neutral business environment. This will also assist in managing the destructive effect that energy price volatility and supply interruption has on the business community.
4. CCBC PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FORUM (PDF)

5. CITIONLINE E-COMMERCE MALL:
