Cycling with Helen Zille

The Western Cape Government is pioneering an exciting new programme that plans to bring both business and the environment together. The 110% Green initiative wants entrepreneurs and business to think in a way that is not only innovative, but also in terms of how to bring investment into the Green Economy. The Premier of the Western Cape, Mrs Helen Zille is hosting a 110% Green and Better Together Cycle Tour as part of Transport Month in South Africa, and thanks to one of our local companies, Victoria + Alfred Bath (Pty) Ltd, Worcester was selected to host the Premier and the Better together Cycle event.

Green Worcester Initiative

“Base of renewable energy and related green economy business driver of growth and job creation … “
“To play a role in ensuring that the barriers to the growth of the green economy in the Western Cape are minimized and that the Western Cape is the investment destination of choice for businesses involved in the African Green Economy.”

Wishing Wall

You may have read about the Breede Valley Partnership or seen the “Wish Walls” dotted around Worcester, as well as in Rawsonville, De Doorns and Touwsrivier. The “Wish Walls” are the first tangible product of the Breede Valley Partnership. These walls have the aim of capturing the perceptions of our citizens, to get a glimpse of how they see their town, each other and even themselves. Wish walls are available at all the libraries in Worcester, at Quenets Arcade (paper and pens at Quenets Jag & Hengel) and in the Mountain Mill Shopping Centre (paper and pens available at Centre Info food court).

Breede Valley Partnership

The Breede Valley Partnership is a partnership between private sector, local government and civil society, aimed at identifying urban regeneration or improvement districts.
The Worcester Business Forum is proud to be an active part of the partnership and we look forward to sharing some of the exciting actions in the new future.Not official logo on right
