KZN Exporter of the Year Awards

KZN Exporter of the Year Awards

Date: 2015-11-13
For over a decade, the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) have collaborated with Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) to highlight successful exporters in KwaZulu Natal. Each year, the programme culminates in the KZN Exporter of the Year Awards Gala Dinner at which the winners are announced. This year the awards were held on 29 October 2015 at Sibaya. The Keynote Address was by Mr Zama Gwala, CEO of TIKZN, and Mr Richard Jacob, CEO of Hulamin, was the guest speaker.

The awards are an ideal showcase for emerging and established exporters of a wide range of goods. With a GDP contribution of 16%, KwaZulu Natal is the second largest economic contributor to the South African economy. A large part of the KZN economy is as a result of being host to the Durban Container Terminal, the largest in Southern Africa, and Richards Bay Terminal. These two facilities are among 16 terminals run by TPT.

Dumile Cele, CEO DCCI commented, "We celebrate and attempt to encourage exports out of KZN. The KZN economy needs to improve as it is currently faced with imports that are higher than it exports, making KZN a market for other countries to benefit, while we remain a follower on the world economic stage.".
