Trade Minister Parks Tau said South Africa will tighten auto-manufacturing rules and phase out assembly from imported vehicle component kits. The ministry will stop providing policy support for any newly established semi-knocked-down (SKD) assembly operations and will refine the legal definition for fully knocked-down (CKD) assembly manufacturing. Tau said SKD operations typically create fewer jobs and are used to increase tax efficiency; local automakers have long lobbied for policy change.
