7.15 Business Forum: The National African Federated Chamber of Commerce (NAFCOC) raised concerns about the municipality's inability to see business as a strategic partner in development at Mafikeng. Organized business should form partnerships with the Municipality especially on issues of LED. Agriculture was identified as a major economic development activity in the Province. However, the Municipality has not played any pivotal role in this regard. In addition, NAFCOC felt that the issue of corruption and tender irregularities needed urgent address.
