The Toyota Motor Corporation says its Durban factory will reopen on Tuesday, 20 July, just more than a week after it shut as rioting and looting spread across the city. It has been engaging with the city and the province, and raised concerns in a letter last week, but says local authorities have provided it with a ‘recovery roadmap’, assuaging its jitters.

Reopening the plant, which produces the Hilux bakkie, the Fortuner, the Quantum and the Corolla Quest, is a reassuring sign that the eThekwini Municipality is returning to normal – or what passes for “normal” in South Africa these days.

The precise details of the roadmap have not been revealed. But Toyota’s Prospecton factory outside Durban is a key employer in the region, with a workforce of 7,200, many of whom would have several dependants whose numbers have probably swelled owing to job losses linked to the orgy of destruction. So one would assume that the local government would have been at pains to reassure the company about the security situation and related issues.

in an emailed response to queries that “our focus as a concerned corporate citizen is to ensure that local government has a definite plan of action to protect jobs and investment”.
