The plant upgrade of the Silverton plant would in future see Ford building the next-generation Ranger bakkie for both local and export markets. He said their tour of the plant was to pave the way for the visit of the Ford president, who is expected to evaluate the project in November this year. “ we walked into this area and it was an open veld. What we see happening here is an amazing feat. These buildings that we see here were not here.”He said at least 70% of the work had been completed, with factories that needed to be on-site already accommodated.
So this plant/zone, that will create jobs etc, is 1000 times the cost of a football field. 333 times the cost of the City_Ekurhuleni police hub, I think the later are way over budgeted
