The Bloemfontein Chamber of Commerce and Industry was established in
March 2004 in terms of an amalgamation agreement between the former
Bloemfontein branch of NAFCOC and the former Bloemfontein Chamber of
Business. The chamber movement addresses all economic, social and
political issues affecting the business community in one way or
another. The chamber is the “voice of business” and it ensures that
this voice is heard where it matters to protect the interests of
business.
