Cape Chamber Perspectives Featured Across Local and International Media

Chamber perspectives featured multiple times in both local and international media throughout October, providing key business insights on critical regional and macroeconomic issues.  

Addressing fuel price increases and logistics disruptions, the Chamber’s commentary was highlighted by Logistics Update Africa and international trade publication Food Business MEA, which cited concerns over escalating diesel costs impacting regional supply chains ahead of the peak agricultural export season. Operations at the Port of Cape Town also remained under the media spotlight, with BusinessTech covering the Chamber’s ongoing stance on port efficiency and freight bottlenecks.

International media took notice of local precinct interventions, with Bloomberg News featuring the Chamber’s Philippi East safety and technology pilot in its Africa newsletter, examining how public-private initiatives are working to secure industrial nodes against extortion and crime.

Locally, the Chamber's newsletter lead story about Cape Town’s short-term rental regulation debate featured in property news website Real Estate Investor. Meanwhile, the Chamber's views on municipal service delivery appeared last week in The Citizen, as part of their pre-election coverage. Expanding on this theme, the Chamber also filmed an interview with kykNET, scheduled to broadcast later this month.
