From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Sashnee Moodley:

Vehicle manufacturer Mahindra South Africa in August celebrated the milestone of having the 20 000th locally assembled Pik Up “bakkie” rolling off the line, as the company gears for its next phase of growth in the country and looks to initiate localisation. Tasneem Bulbulia tells us more.

Tasneem Bulbulia:

The achievement was celebrated at the company’s semi-knockdown (SKD) assembly plant, located in the Dube TradePort special economic zone, in KwaZulu-Natal, where the Pik Up cab units are assembled. Mahindra SA logistics head Arnold Reddy expands.

Tasneem Bulbulia:

SKD production entails assembling imported, already assembled component subsets into a completed vehicle. The plant currently receives these subsets from Indian-headquartered Mahindra Group, and assembly takes place locally. As such, there is currently no local content in the components, and Mahindra is looking to change this. Reddy expands.
