Who is
SACCUSA?

Background

The SOUTH AFRICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE USA (SACCUSA) is a voluntary Association and Business organization, established by the founding members for the benefit of all businesspeople, entrepreneurs, professionals and academics living in the United States of America with any past, current, or future link to South Africa.

South Africans living in the United States of America identified the need to have a functional, stable and active federal Association for South African businesspeople, professionals and academics. SACCUSA is that Federal body of all South African business organizations and Chapters.

SACUSSA was established at a meeting of the

Founding Members in Atlanta, GA as a federal business organization with a mandate to represent the south African business Diaspora and advance South African business interests in all States and Cities of the USA.

The Founding members acknowledge the various previous South African business groups and organizations across the USA that worked over the years to organize and mobilize South Africans and made it possible for the establishment of a federal body and business chamber.

SACUSSA will continue the legacy of those business groups and organizations that have been representing South African business over time.
