The Money Show Ford to slash jobs amid industry turmoil; Friday File: Swartland kitchen in the spotlight
Stephen Grootes speaks to Warren Tucker, motor enthusiast and vehicle reviewer, about Ford’s latest blow to South Africa’s struggling motor industry, with the US-owned carmaker confirming plans to retrench hundreds of workers—unions warn up to 470 jobs could be at risk. Ford says the cuts are necessary to adapt to “evolving market demands,” as the sector faces pressure from a flood of cheaper imports and weakening demand for locally built vehicles abroad.
In other interviews, Frits van Ryneveld about Swartland Kitchen chats about his small business specializing in handcrafted, quality rusks, cookies, and granola, using ingredients like real butter, stoneground flour, and free-range eggs.
