Velddrif, Noordhoek, Laaiplek, Port Owen, de Plaat, Dwarskersbos, and Aurora used to be low-crime areas where people felt safe. We are still a relatively safe area: we do not have as much crime as several other towns. But, just as petty crime and serious crime have become a reality of life in the cities, they are also a reality of life here. We need to protect ourselves. The police and neighbourhood watches cannot be everywhere all the time. So we must all be aware of the dangers of walking around in…

This is how you attract repeat business and thus grow your turnover. But in some towns…
Our Chamber of Commerce was delighted to read the of the announcement by the Minister of Transport, Mr Fikile Mbalula, that investments were to be made in upgrading the rail service. The sooner that some heavy loads can be conveyed by rail instead of by road, the better it will be for our town. The roads in and around Velddrif are taking strain because of the heavy trucks that drive through. Plus, of course, we are inconvenienced by the noise and the vibrations they cause. Many of you already know that…
The Velddrif Chamber of Commerce recognised that many of the challenges faced by our businesses are also faced by businesses in other towns. We realised that a single Chamber of Business wanting to lobby for something specific (for example, protesting against the proposed Eskom Tariff hikes) would not carry much weight with the authorities. However, if several Chambers could stand together and speak with one voice, that would carry considerable weight.
