South African Turkish Business Association
Turkish entrepreneurs, business people and workers have taken their parts in all zones of the world. They have made investments worth billions of dollars and created employment opportunities as well.
Mostly, these people have been successful and contribute to the economies of the countries they have settled in.
South Africa is certainly one of such destinations and it is known that many Turkish businessmen have started successful business operations in this country.
On the other hand an association to attend to issues of concern for such people has been established and functions to extend its related services to those professionals.
Down below is a brief information about the organization in South Africa
