South African spotlight – the ‘Race is On’ but is the industry ready?

The spotlight turns to South Africa this week, as global automotive players and government representatives gather to demonstrate and evaluate potential market and trade opportunities. South African Automotive Week (14-17 October) will address not only the country's automotive component sector, but also wider automotive industry trends, regional integration plans and job loss concerns. The conference, held every two years and the only major automotive industry event in the country, is geared at stimulating trade and partnership opportunities for industry players.
