For years, the South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (SACCUSA) has been at the forefront of strengthening trade and investment ties between South Africa and the United States. 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.
As a stakeholder and catalyst for economic diplomacy, SACCUSA is committed to sustaining this 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.
