Ford hesitant to invest in South Africa because of strikes
Ford production in South Africa declines by about 30% in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter.
Ford is hesitant about investing further in South Africa because of repeated production stoppages caused by strikes in the country, reports Reuters, citing the automaker's regional chief. "A challenge for us here in South Africa is convincing our board to continue to invest in a country where the stability of output is a little less certain than in other countries," said Jeff Nemeth, president of Ford's South African business.
