Our history

The name was then changed to the Zululand Chamber of Commerce & Industry at an Annual General Meeting held in Mtunzini on 24 November 1962.Then at a meeting of the Joint Executive Committee of the Zululand Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Natal Chamber of Industries held on 23 October 1992 the name was changed to the Zululand Chamber of Business. On 23 April 2008 a resolution was passed under chairmanship of Mr Phiwo Tango changing the name from the Zululand Chamber of Business to the Zululand Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

In the late 1980’s when floods devastated the region, the local corporate community, through the Chamber, contributed towards the establishment of the Rural Foundation to assist the victims of disaster. In the mid 1990’s the rural Foundation became the Zululand Chamber of Business Foundation ZCBF. Together, the ZCB established the Business Development Centre (BDC). Business Against Crime was also established as a result of an initiative of the Chamber in response to community and business needs.
