General Motors South Africa still fine despite parent’s woes

GENERAL Motors South Africa (GMSA) says its parent company’s filing for bankruptcy in the United States will not affect its operations.

It also says creditors of the US operation would have no claims on GMSA, as the organisation is self-sustaining.
The company says it has made considerable adjustments in its operations to cope with slowing demand and is therefore in sound financial shape.
General Motors South Africa and its distribution partners say they will continue to provide full sales and after-sales backing for all its vehicles.
This includes honouring all warranties, service and maintenance plans, parts supply and all other areas of after sales support for the Chevrolet, Isuzu, Opel, Hummer, Saab and Cadillac brands.
The company will soon break ground on its R250 million Pan-African Parts Distribution Centre and GMSA says it and its partner companies have invested more than R4 billion since 2004.
