ALBERTON – Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality plans to establish the Ekurhuleni Business Council (EBC) as a precursor to the upcoming Manufacturing Indaba Conference and Exhibition.
The establishment of the EBC took place at the Manufacturing Roundtable, held at Emperor’s Palace.
Industry leaders were invited to deliberate on how they, through the EBC, will collectively work towards the revitalisation of the manufacturing sector in Ekurhuleni.
In his keynote address the executive mayor of Ekurhuleni, councillor Mondli Gungubele, stated: “It is this very council that the city’s senior management will utilise to adequately engage with the manufacturing fraternity on key issues of service delivery and other municipal business. This roundtable is an opportunity to reorganise the industry in order to maximise the potential that already exists in Ekurhuleni.”
The EBC is a structure that will include representatives from both the municipality and business.
The metro will be hosting the Manufacturing Indaba Conference and Exhibition where deliberations of enhancing manufacturing competitiveness in Gauteng will take place.
