  • Mike Whitfield
    10 April 2019 FOR EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION Welcome address Navara launch: Mike Whitfield Your Excellency the President of South Africa, the honourable Mr Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen, members of the media, good morning and a very warm welcome to all of you. Mr President, last year, when you delivered your inaugural State of the Nation address, you borrowed from the lyrics of one of South Africa’s most favoured sons, the late Hugh Masekela, to challenge all of us. “Thuma mina,” you said. “Send me”, as you sketched your plan of a New Dawn premised – among other things - on the creation of jobs and the incubation of small businesses to renew and revitalise this country. Later, you announced another ambitious plan – to massively increase direct foreign investment to this country. You set a target of $100-billion by 2023. Last year, at your inaugural Investment Conference, you received pledges of around R300-billion. Today, we are proud to announce a very real investment of R3-billion into a plant that has not just been providing jobs and creating vehicles for South Africans for 56 years, but will now be creating a total of 1 200 full time jobs across the value chain when we start building our new Navara pick-up right here next year for the local and the continental market. It’s a very important statement for us as a global company with deep roots in this country and a long legacy in the other African countries we operate in. We see Africa as somewhere we can make a real and lasting contribution to the improvement of the lives of the people who live there – through mobility solutions but also through industrialisation.
