GM SE ONTTREKKING ‘MOSIE VAN WANTROUE IN SA’ - Afrikanervolksparty
AfrikanerGM SE ONTTREKKING ‘MOSIE VAN WANTROUE IN SA’Gepubliseer op 22 Mei 2017 | Geskryf deur Redaksie | | | Trefslae: 113Die opskrif van nuus24 oor Genneral Motors se besluit om aan Suid Afrika te onttrek, word in Nuus 24 as ‘n mosie van wantroue in Suid Afrika beskou.
In die vyftig en sestigerjare het jong seuns lekker gestry oor wie se pa dan nou ‘n beter voertuig ry. ‘n Chev of ‘n Ford. Dit was amper soos die verskil tussen Sap en Nat! Dat GM vir baie jare deel van Suid Afrika se motorhandel was en nou totaal onttrek, het meer as net ‘n swak ekonomie as oorsprong vir die onttrekking.
Sedert 1926 was GM in Suid Afrika betrokke. Hoewel dit nie gesê word nie, speel politiek ‘n belangrike rol in GM se besluit. Vakbonde se willekeurige stakings wat produksie skaad terwille van hoër lone en wat meermale gepaard gaan met beskadiging van eiendom en bedreiging van lewe, is in die huidige politieke klimaat van gebrek aan wet en orde, waarskynlik ‘n belangrike oorweging vir onttrekking uit Suid Afrika.
Dat die vakbond Numsa die vermetelheid het om te verwag dat enige organisasie in Suid Afrika eers aan hulle moet rapporteer voordat hulle besluit om besigheid in Suid Afrika te staak, is aanduidend van die diktatoriale klimaat wat reeds heers in Suid Afrika. Die Amerikaanse President Donald Trump se verkiesingsaanduidings van die herstel van die Amerikaanse ekonomie, kan ook deel vorm van GM se besluit om te konsentreer op die vraag in Amerika self. Onder die opskrif:Why did GM decide to do this? Is een van die verduidelikings as volg.
(•Globally, GM firmly believes there are opportunities where it can achieve greater return on investment – in specific vehicle segments and markets where the outlook for growth is very strong (business adjacencies, SUVs and crossovers, U.S. and China)
Dit strook met Donald Trump se stellings in sy inhuldigingstoespraak van: “We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.” Indien hy daarby bly, wat nog bewys moet word, verklaar GM motors se optrede begrip vir die waarde en potensiaal van nasionalisme en NUMSA se optrede die verval envernietiging van die infrastruktuur van Suid Afrika! Rich local history up in smoke
General Motors, meanwhile intends to pull the plug on its local operations, with the Chevrolet brand set to be taken off the market by end of 2017. Not only does this mean ending production of the locally manufactured Chevrolet Utility bakkie and Spark hatchback, but imports of the Cruze, Captiva and Trailblazer will cease
•This is a business decision, based on GM’s global business priorities.
•There have been significant changes to the global industry over the last few years, and our global strategy has evolved with these changes.
•The most significant industry change has been the emergence of mobility (autonomous/ride sharing/electrification/connectivity) as a service and as a long-term growth opportunity.
•Globally, GM firmly believes there are opportunities where it can achieve greater return on investment – in specific vehicle segments and markets where the outlook for growth is very strong (business adjacencies, SUVs and crossovers, U.S. and China
