	Thursday, 8 May 2003, is the National 'Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day'. The WesVaal Chamber of Business sent out several communications regarding this empowering event. To date Kopanang Mine, Atlas Plastics and Kopano Brickwork's have become involved and will be hosting girls from local schools. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their commitment to our future workforce. A further thank you goes out to Elsa Phillips for her involvement.

In view of the Rand's volatility over the past 18 months, SACOB is conducting a snap survey on the recent performance of the currency. All businesses are invited to e-mail us what their assumption for the value of the Rand against the Dollar was at the time of their business budget/forward planning. Please only indicate your assumption (e.g. R8.20). This information would be of great benefit to SACOB, especially in light of the April 2003 BCI. Two upcoming WCOB events for your diary include: A cocktail evening with Richard Downing, Chief Economist of SACOB on Thursday, 15 May 2003. Richard will be discussing "The Impact of the strong Rand on the South African Economy", and booking is essential. And A 'power breakfast' with Indevco Industrial Development Consultants on Wednesday, 28 May 2003. Indevco will be discussing the various Government incentives that many SME's fail to make use of. Booking for both events is essential and open to both members and non-members. Contact us for more information. The WesVaal Chamber of Business website now contains sections that give the very latest information in a variety of categories. Each area is updated whenever we receive new information relevant to that category, and members are encouraged to visit our site on a regular basis for the latest news and information. Categories include: Tenders Trade Opportunities Travel Offers Finance & Economy Seminar's & Expo's, and Government Legislation		The city of people will be judged for the Cleanest City Campaign 2003 on Monday, 12 May 2003. A panel of judges from all over the country will be visiting Klerksdorp on this day. The City Council has made a special appeal to all businesses, residents and educational institutions to make a special effort this week in keeping their premises clean, especially on Monday. Random sites will be visited by the judges with no-one knowing who will be chosen. Furthermore, the Council would like to thank everyone who has already made extraordinary attempts to put Klerksdorp on the map with this campaign. For further information click here.
