South Africaās biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
The replies aren't all that flattering though.
The ANC's iceboys have arrived.
They'll find away to not employ locals
Well, if true, and they do open factories here, the traditional factories (VW, etc) will actually have strong and fair competition. And contribute to the economy.
Serial Ramaposer does nothing, not even wipe his arse, without express consent of his NEC.The President of the Republic, Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa is the one who decides what happens with his cabinet, and he doesn't threaten, he does what he wants to do, ask Whitfield if you don't believe me.
I'd tend to agree.. They'll wring some sort of concession that allows them to do whatever they want.They'll find away to not employ locals
You sound slightly ill informed of the happenings around the motor industry, I don't want to embarrass you even further after the weekend you have endured with the DA, so I will just leave it at that.anti-Chinese South Africans? Wut?
On those brands you mention, which of them have ever reached the critical mass of VW, BMW, Toyota and now the Chery, etc, etc?
Opel has had a factory here (probably closed when GM left SA).
Seems tho the parent company of Opel, Citroen, Peugeot are opening a factory here in future, so that argument of yours won't last long?![]()
Stellantis and the South African Authorities Sign Framework Agreement to Manufacture Vehicles in South Africa
Stellantis signs Memorandum of Understanding with the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (twww.stellantis.com
Hyundai has a Benoni plant. Kia's parent is Hyundai...
Suzuki is under the Toyota Group, so they could use their current factories for 'em. The Vitz and Celerio are almost exactly the same car.
Now, the Chinese can also come and contribute to the economy. Everyone wins. ANC will especially coom since it isn't "evil West" company this time.

Lol, how gracious.You sound slightly ill informed of the happenings around the motor industry, I don't want to embarrass you even further after the weekend you have endured with the DA, so I will just leave it at that.
Mr Big Shot? Anyone who knows anything about the motor industry would tell him the same, if you don't believe me ask someone else, you really don't need to be a Mr Big Shot.Ooo we've got a Mr Big Shot in our midst.
And when you have fail after fail after immense fail from the ANC which you support to the death, I wouldn't be so quick to mouth off about the DAs supposed failures.
Leave him be, he is rattled that racist DA's threats put his heroes in GLM on edge.Ooo we've got a Mr Big Shot in our midst.

Can the provincial MEC force new elections like they've done in all those municipalities? The people of Knysna are tired of the ANC-EFF-PA criminal syndicate and want the DA back in charge! It was very obvious to me when I was there in 2023 on holiday what a bunch of numpties run the council. Very different from DA-run councils!
LOLZ.

Like how would that be a sound decision with local elections next year?Can the provincial MEC force new elections like they've done in all those municipalities?

The people can wait for next year and hopefully vote better. It was their decision to vote this way. Hopefully lesson learned.Can the provincial MEC force new elections like they've done in all those municipalities?

Local elections only likely in August next year or so - so more than 12 months. Could make quite a difference to long-suffering residents.Like how would that be a sound decision with local elections next year?
Are you implying the WC government is incapable of appointing a competent administrator to run the city for 12 months and the best option is an election with an uncertain outcome that can just be the same as what is currently happening?Local elections only likely in August next year or so - so more than 12 months.

Nope. Between December 2026 and February 2027...Local elections only likely in August next year or so - so more than 12 months. Could make quite a difference to long-suffering residents.
