Contact Piet on peterd@seanet.co.za or 076 850 4869. They have formally constituted a Chamber and he is driving it and organising it. At he same time we are still running our projects at an arms length and recently started advertising a One Call information line which serves as an umbrella referral service for a suite of mini web sites. These offer free listings of the businesses in Knysna. And we currently have working sites covering the catering and hospitality as well as the home and garden maintenance sectors.

Reading the cover letter I was very impressed that there is an organization looking to improve the business sector in Knysna that is so badly needed.
The biggest problem seems to be too much of everything yet not enough people!
However , seeing it was last updated 2009, makes me wonder if this body is still operational and if so, what is the latest update on what was mentioned and how do I become a part of this to also, in some way contribute?
Kindly get back to me

The Knysna Chamber of Commerce “and Industry” has been constituted and as far as am aware is still going. You will need to contact peterd@seanet.co.za to get details. But yes, our project is also still going although it never morphed into the formal structures that became the KCCI. We are an empowerment workshop developing the skills and resources that allow entry level users to grow mini businesses on the web.

Good day

Is this site still active or has the Knysna Chamber of Commerce idea been shelved?

I am in the process of writing a business plan and was hoping you could offer some insights into the Knysna marketplace.

I look forward to hearing from you.

We are showing people how to make themselves useful on the internet and how to set up and run small micro businesses. For example where do you find a complete list of service providers in the Knysna area and if you are new to town how do you tap into the ‘word of mouth’ network that is the way everyone does business in this town?

Our idea is to set up fifteen different blogs like http://www.tasteofknysna.com where each one is run by a different person who addresses a different sector of service directory it will become. This where the sum of the bits will add up to a whole but where the bits are independently owned and more importantly motivated. Its so easy to do and if its successful there will be all sorts of spins not to mention a very good excuse to formalise the set up of the Chamber of Commerce which we as a “community” so desperately need.
