🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA WANTS MORE OF YOUR CAR BUILT HERE
Good morning, South Africa!
Government has announced plans to phase out support for assembling near-complete imported vehicle kits, pushing manufacturers towards deeper local production.
The aim: increase locally made content from around 38% to 60% by 2035, supporting South African jobs and component suppliers.
Announced at SA Auto Week, the shift excludes medium and heavy commercial vehicles. (reuters.com)
Our takeaway: the next big investment must create opportunities beyond the showroom—right through to the factory floor.
