The Southern – African German Chamber of Commerce has been an active participant in the SADC market for over 60 years, since 1952. With humble beginnings in Johannesburg, Chamber membership has grown over the years to such an extent that regional offices have become a necessity. The Cape Town office was opened in the year 2000, due to the growing demand for a German commerce and industry partner in the Western Cape. In 2012, the Durban office was opened thanks to the increased German interest in Kwa-Zulu Natal, and interest from the province in doing business with German partners. As another vital link in the growing chain between southern African and German business, the Chamber welcomes the Maputo office with much enthusiasm. The AHK Chambers of Commerce are dedicated to their members and provide services which foster business links between German companies and those outside of Germany’s borders. Services such as market entry; business partner searches; market Information; legal and tax information; delegations and translation services allow companies inexperienced in a Southern African market the opportunity to flourish. We are equally invested in the success of Southern African business success within SADC as well as in Germany.
