Minara Chamber of Commerce

About Minara Chamber of Commerce

The Minara Chamber of Commerce is a formally constituted organization formed in May 2000 , through an initiative by the Muslim community to create unity between businesses after consultation with a broad spectrum of the business community, and has since grown tremendously and now serves as a platform to represent and assist South African businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals.

Over the 19 years Minara has been providing support to its members to establish new business networks and opportunities by exposing its members to local and international trade delegations and government officials.

The Chamber's activities and objectives are based on the need to provide a formal voice and guiding vision for Business. The constitution and workings are based on an adherence to an Islamic Code of Conduct and Ethics as contained in the Holy Quran.

Membership extends across South Africa and in time will grow into the rest of Africa.

The Minara Chamber of Commerce strives for a high degree of professionalism and an ethos of credibility, dedication, passion and vision.

"O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah has been to you Most Merciful." [Al Qur'an 4:29]
