As a stakeholder and catalyst for economic diplomacy, the South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (SACCUSA) is committed to sustaining progress by working closely with Atlanta’s business leaders, city officials, and trade partners to create new opportunities for investment and growth. By prioritizing innovation, trade, and cross-border partnerships, we can ensure that economic ties between South Africa and Atlanta continue to flourish—beyond politics, and for the benefit of all.

This week, SACCUSA President Neil Diamond participated in the South Africa & Atlanta: Driving Economic Diplomacy Beyond Politics event in Atlanta, engaging in key discussions on expanding trade, investment, and business collaboration between South Africa and the United States.

For years, SACCUSA has been at the forefront of strengthening trade and investment ties between South Africa and the USA. Through strategic partnerships, business engagement, and economic diplomacy, SACCUSA has played a key role in fostering commercial collaboration that transcends political shifts.

The Atlanta Phambili (“Forward”) initiative has further reinforced these efforts, building on a foundation of longstanding business connections, civil rights linkages, and academic partnerships between South Africa and Atlanta. While changes in political leadership may reshape traditional diplomatic channels, the real momentum lies in business-led engagement, trade expansion, and private-sector-driven collaboration.

SACCUSA remains committed to advancing economic diplomacy and strengthening the business ties that drive sustainable growth and mutual prosperity.
