Let us continue to work together to build our economy, to improve our global competitiveness and to make excellent products that demonstrate the great potential of the South African people. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Today is about celebration, about a new milestone we have reached locally. I would like to congratulate Toyota on this launch and look forward to seeing the #CorollaCross on our roads. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The launch of the Corolla Cross Hybrid is an important step on our path to transforming the car-making business into a green industry success story. It will take hard work. But we must do it. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Government published a draft paper for public comment on a roadmap to the production of fully-electric vehicles, which will be taken further based on the discussions with international partners and the local industry. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have identified three key priorities for climate action: for Eskom to reduce its carbon emissions, for electric vehicles to be produced in South Africa, and for the green hydrogen economy to be fast-tracked locally. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have called on leaders of developed economies to support South Africa’s efforts to green our economy and address our very ambitious climate change goals through equally ambitious grant and concessional funding support. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is fitting that we are launching this hybrid vehicle a week before the #COP26 Climate Change Conference. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Before he passed away, he was chairing Minister Ebrahim Patel’s Green Hydrogen Panel and he met with me as part of the ongoing engagement on improving the business climate in South Africa. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Dr Van Zyl was a passionate South African and visionary who would be immensely proud of the launch of the Corolla Cross. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We cannot mark this historic day without recognising and paying tribute to the legacy of Dr Johan Van Zyl, the former CEO and Executive Chairperson of Toyota, who sadly passed away in July this year from COVID-19. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The CEO has advised us that 575 new jobs have been created in the plant and a further 1,200 new jobs have been created in the supplier companies. This is an excellent step forward to bring young people into employment and fight unemployment and poverty. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I am advised that there are 56 local suppliers for this new model, of which 16 are black-owned companies. #InvestSA https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
With 621 localised parts in the Corolla Cross, the localisation level for the Corolla Cross will be higher than that of the standard Corolla produced here. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Industrialisation through localisation is a key pillar of our Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, including the development of export competitive sectors that can expand the sales of South African made products on the continent and beyond. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There are a number of initiatives by Toyota to improve local content and increase the number of new suppliers into South Africa from the global supply chain, as well as using and developing new suppliers locally. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Localisation and transformation are critical pillars to the Automotive Masterplan and we are working with Toyota to ensure that the #CorollaCross is giving practical implementation to both these pillars. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I am advised that the company will seek to ramp up its projected 4,000 hybrid vehicles planned for next year if availability of batteries improve. This could provide great opportunities in the future for localisation. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The #CorollaCross will be exported to 40 countries across Africa, helping to give green options to consumers on our continent and boosting the African Continental Free Trade Area. #AfCFTA #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is significant that South Africa is one of only seven global locations for the production of the #CorollaCross. This is testament to the skilled, productive workforce and competitive plant at Prospecton. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This investment builds on a relationship that stretches back many decades. Toyota is currently the market leader in South Africa with a 25% market share. The Corolla has been produced in South Africa since 1975. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In addition to improving manufacturing competitiveness levels, the plan seeks to transform the industry across the value chain to bring in black South Africans and young people and to deepen value addition. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We want to double employment, to at least 224,000 jobs #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Through the master plan, we aim to grow the industry in South Africa over a 15 year period to reach 1% of global production. We want to increase the local content of South African assembled vehicles to 60% from the current 40% #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The master plan vision calls for a globally competitive and transformed industry that actively contributes to the sustainable development of South Africa’s productive economy, creating prosperity for industry stakeholders and the broader society. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The new version of the master plan, the Automotive Production Development Programme, came into operation in July this year. It provides investors in the automotive sector with policy certainty and confidence in making long term investment decisions. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The 7 local light vehicle producers invested a record R9.2 billion in 2020 while the component sector invested R2.4 billion during the same period. These investments are made possible by an enabling policy regime in the form of the industry master plan. https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The auto industry is one of the drivers of our localisation programme. It is a significant contributor to GDP and accounts for more than 100,000 jobs in assembly and component manufacturing. It is a big magnet for foreign direct investment. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Workers are often the unsung heroes of daily production and I want to acknowledge the contribution of production workers to making world-class, safe vehicles that we and the rest of the world can drive with confidence. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We would also like to thank the workers of KwaZulu-Natal for building and equipping the plant in time, despite the challenging period and ensuring the #CorollaCross is ready for the launch. #InvestSA 🇿🇦 https://t.co/0fg1iGKrvM — PolitiTweet.org
