New President for Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry

New President for Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Date: 2013-02-28
The Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry is pleased to announce the election of Akash Singh as its President-elect. Singh will succeed Thato Tsautse at the helm of South Africa's premier metropolitan chamber immediately after the Annual General Meeting on 9th April.

Following a very successful career in the accountancy profession and banking, Singh started his own company, Sigma International, from scratch in 2003. The progress of this enterprise is attributable to his strong entrepreneurial spirit, his passion for small business development and, by his own admission, networking and business opportunities arising out of his membership of the Chamber. He is currently its Vice President, Finance.

The President of the Chamber said that his election is thoroughly well-deserved. "Akash has sacrificed considerable time to give valuable guidance to the Chamber in respect of its finances and operations. He is relentless in his pursuit of success and he will continue to be fully committed to the task of leading the DCCI to new heights," she said.

Andrew Layman, CEO of the Chamber said: "Akash's own career and qualifications (he is a CA, and has an MBA) are inspirational and I look forward to serving under his leadership."

Other leadership positions have also been determined. Kwanele Gumbi will be the Deputy President, while the three Vice Presidents will be Lingiwe Nyamande (Finance), Mike Jackson and Zeph Ndlovu.
