Deputy President Paul Mashatile says Chinese motor manufacturer Chery’s launch of its Rosslyn plant in Pretoria is a vote of confidence in South Africa.

The multi-billion-rand plant comes with the creation of about three thousand jobs.

The company has taken over the plant from Nissan.

Delivering the keynote address during the launch, Mashatile said: “The acquisition of the Rosslyn factory by Chery International is a powerful signal to global investors that South Africa remains a trusted destination for industrial investment. It is a vote of confidence in our people, our institutions, our infrastructure, and our long-term future as well. It reinforces South Africa’s role as an automotive gateway to Africa.”
