The Breakfast Indaba is a UK-based South African Business Network.

The SA Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the South African newspaper to deliver the most proactive business networking opportunity within the South African community over a monthly Breakfast Indaba. Every participant will be given the opportunity to present to the group of 30+ South African-orientated business networkers, enjoy a great breakfast and GENERATE BUSINESS.

What’s great about working with other South Africans? They speak your language. They are friendly, clear, honest and direct in their business dealings and, like you, know what hard work means – and they have fun doing it. You and your business need people like that — people you can trust. The event is aimed at South Africans or businesses owned by South Africans, those who do business in South Africa or employ South Africans, and who simply like South Africa and its people.

The Breakfast Indaba will offer a one-minute business presentation by each business present, a presentation on educational and other opportunities by the Chamber, and a special offer to attendees who want to join the South African Chamber of Commerce. All this for £12.50. To have exclusive rights to present your chosen profession/industry please ensure you register.

The Breakfast Indaba is hosted at Carluccios Putney from 7am to 8.30am on 13 March.
